I’m not surprised at all, you just have to watch la masia on YouTube.its a common feature whenever they win a final,they even consoled Real Madrid youth teams. Those who hate Barca don’t know their history,from being oppressed by Franco trying to ban them from speaking their own dialect etc.The only place they could teach their children the Catalan language n freely speak it was in the nou camp.you can read it on the net
