BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona unveiled a huge banner reading "Dialogue, Respect and Sport" before kick-off against Olympiakos at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, calling for a resolution to the political crisis between Catalonia and the Spanish central government.
The Champions League game against the Greek side was the first at the Nou Camp since the La Liga clash with Las Palmas on Oct. 1 which was played behind closed doors in what the club said was a protest at police crackdowns on the banned referendum on independence in the region that day.
