SportsBarcelona scraps Spain World Cup tribute amid fans’ Catalan flag support

Barcelona abandoned plans to honour its Spain World Cup winners after police confiscated an estelada flag from a fan and struck him with batons before another match. A local group then distributed about 10,000 flags outside Camp Nou, where fans raised them during the club anthem. President Joan Laporta said football should unite rather than create confrontation.
