A tacky tickets tit-for-tat spat

BARCELonA tried to rip off Manchester United fans, so United gave them a taste of their own medicine.

When away tickets at the nou Camp for their quarter-final meeting on April 16 were priced at £102, United immediately matched that for Barcelona supporters attending old trafford on April 10. they intended to use the extra funds raised to offer their own fans a £27 subsidy for the away leg.

An appreciation of cause and effect created a backlash from Barcelona’s supporters, and now their trip is being subsidised, too.

And so the rounds of childish tit-for-tat continue. It is pathetic. Why didn’t Barcelona just play fair in the first place?
