Adrian Durham has launched a furious tirade at Barcelona officials after it was revealed they would charge Manchester United fans record-breaking prices for their Champions League tie.
After completing a sensational comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the round-of-16, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men were drawn against the Catalan giants in a mouth-watering quarter-final clash.
And if it required a monumental effort for the team to make it the Camp Nou, it is going to be even harder for fans.

The Nou Camp is one of the most magnificent stadiums in the world
Barca are charging United fans £102 per ticket for the Nou Camp clash – the most United fans have ever had to pay for a ticket outside of a major final.
United have confirmed they will use the extra cash generated to subsidise the costs of away tickets for their own supporters.
And in an extremely passionate rant on Drivetime, Durham heaped praise on ‘class’ United and tore into their Spanish opponents.

He said: Sometimes, things happen in sport that make you angry, that leave you raging at decision-makers in the game and at individual clubs as well.
“You’re left feeling like you’ve got very little faith left in football after some of these stories.
“Barcelona may well be one of the biggest clubs in the world, but they should be severely sanctioned for charging Manchester United fans 102 of your English pounds to get into the Nou Camp to watch their Champions League quarter-final first leg.
“It is the most expensive ticket to watch Manchester United ever and it is a disgrace.

Barcelona sailed through to the Champions League quarter-finals at the expense of Lyon
“It happens to United away fans a lot, they know exactly what I am talking about here – a price hike because United are in town.
“Hence the song when United fans go away: ‘You’ve only come to see United’.
“United have been very clever here and I will give them a lot of praise for this; they’re charging Barcelona fans the exact same price for the second leg at Old Trafford and using £27 of that ticket “price to subsidise United fans going over to the Nou Camp.
“How brilliant is that? That’s clever – that’s how you treat football fans, that’s a touch of class from Manchester United.

“But UEFA need to act on this and fast. A cap on Champions League ticket prices should be in place and I am amazed it’s not in place already.
“Until it is, UEFA should preserve the integrity of it’s top club competition by stepping in to sanction clubs who do this kind of thing.
“Their motto at the Catalan club is ‘More than just a club’. Well Barcelona are also a money-grabbing, greedy bunch of suits who disrespect fans and I am glad they have got their comeuppance on this one.”
