The relations between Barcelona and UEFA, already strained by the European Super League debacle, don't seem to be improving after the club's social media team took a dig at Europe's governing body on Tuesday.
UEFA have come under widespread criticism for banning the Allianz Arena in Munich from lighting up the stadium in rainbow colours.
Barcelona joined the dissident voices with a tweet showing their support for the rainbow flag and, therefore, for the Munich mayor's proposal to light up the Allianz Arena in its colours for the Germany vs Hungary game.
The timing and Germany's opponent in Wednesday's match is key to this, as Hungary has just passed legislation which, amongst other things, bans talk of homosexuality from school curriculums.
The law has been condemned internationally and branded homophobic, but UEFA insist that they will not allow the rainbow lighting at Euro 2020 in order to maintain political neutrality.
Social media condemnation
Barcelona's official Twitter account tweeted a rainbow flag along with the club crest and the message "pride and respect".
Gerard Pique shared the club's tweet, adding the comment "absolutely".
Joan Laporta has also expressed his support for the message of inclusivity, while players including Antoine Griezmann have also given their backing to the mayor of Munich.

This is nonsense. Palestinians were killed in hundreds, growing Islamophobia around the world but its homosexuals you want to show support for. Misplaced priorities. All the players, clubs and officials showing support for rainbow instead of human lives are ignorant.

Homosexuals are also humans . Plz don't show your illiteracy by sidelining them . It was not their fault that their hormones work in a different way . They were born different , as per the god's wish , respect them and stop hating them as you guys do .

islamophobia?.. who's responsible for this?... we all know how Muslim countries are included in terrorism and kill innocents... so islamophobia is real.. and also if Israel wasn't been such a good air strike force... it would have already been converted to Islam

Ya Hinduism, we support homosexuality and any member of the LGBTQ+ community. In our texts nothing is written against homosexuality and many old literature has encouraged people to explore their sexuality.

why??there all human its their life its their decision and people should stop judging them because how would you feel if people were judging you everyday of your life??they are human like all of us
Okay. Decision? My mind is saying to kill u right now ! So, would indo that? No! Because it’s wrong. U have brain to choose between right & wrong. Homonis just a idea. Some ppl just want to experience it & make legal to fulfil their sexual desire. This is nothing else. They promote it through Porn & movies. So when a child who doesn’t know anything abt sexual thing would follow it because it is said to them is normal. Which is not. We r not actually getting modern we r going behind. Ppl try to make wrong thing right now. Btw, if ur father or mother was homo & u wouldn’t come into this world.

Which should be prioritized, the difference between people’s hormones, or the fighting and killing going on in Palestine?
