HISTORY

1975. A Sea of Senyeres (Catalan Flags) at the Camp Nou

The 1975-76 season coincided with political upheaval within the Francoist regime

On 28 December 1975, a Barça-Madrid match took place, during which a massive display of Senyeres was to be seen for the first time ever at the Camp Nou. Spectators had smuggled the flags in secretly. It was only one month since the death of Franco.
The match was broadcast on television, meaning that the sight of thousands of Senyeres waving throughout the Stadium made a huge impact. Barça won the match, with a goal by Rexach in the last minute, which made the triumph all the more resounding.
