Fan storms pitch at Barcelona match carrying Palestinian flag

A fan carrying a Palestinian flag ran onto the pitch during a Barcelona match on Sunday, briefly disrupting the game.

The incident occurred during Barcelona’s 3-0 victory over Getafe at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.

The fan, whose identity was not immediately released, was quickly apprehended by stadium security and escorted out of the arena. The incident took place just before Barcelona's second goal was scored in the 34th minute, but it did not affect the flow of the game or the goal itself.

The match was the second straight game for Barcelona at its training facility, as the club’s iconic Camp Nou stadium is undergoing renovations.

The incident was not broadcast on television, but it was noted by several media outlets and was widely shared on social media.
