The Spanish club, which has detected a security problem on its platforms, has returned the full amount of the tickets to all those Partizan fans who had purchased a seat in the local fans' space.

"Barca in compliance with the sports law, cannot and does not want to put its members, subscribers, and fans at risk," the official announcement reads.

That is why the club will reinforce the number of security personnel for tonight's game, via the report.

Barcelona will place Partizan fans, who bought tickets in the local fans' area, and those, who purchased a seat in the visiting supporters' zone, in the upper central part of the Palau Blaugrana, in the area reserved for the fans of the rival teams.

The official announcement states that if visiting fans are detected in unauthorized areas before and during the match, the Spanish club's security will relocate them to the visiting supporters' space.

Barcelona has been in constant contact with Partizan Belgrade and thanks the Serbians for their willingness to accept and understand the situation.

Before Barcelona's announcement, the president of Partizan Ostoja Mijailovic officially addressed Barca's president Joan Laporta with a request for a solution.
