Following the “Blaugrana” victory in La Liga, the fiesta continues. The club won the championship a week ago, but because it was at the Espanyol stadium, the celebration could not happen until tonight in front of the home crowd.
Before that took place, a contentious video surfaced online. Fans from Russia, which has been conducting war in Ukraine since February 24, 2022, and assaulting civilian infrastructure and common citizens, were hailed by Sergi Roberto and Alejandro Balde.
The Spanish first division is broadcasted by Okko Sport in Russia, and the description of the video we published stated that viewers would be able to watch the fiesta live following the match with Real Sociedad.

We must remind you @FCBarcelona that russians take part not in your La Liga champions title, but in full-scale invasion in Ukraine.
