Khaberni - Social media sites were filled with images of Barcelona players wearing sunglasses, which raised many questions about the reason for that.
Atlético Madrid achieved an important 2-0 victory over Barcelona at the "Spotify Camp Nou" on Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals last Wednesday.
These two goals will give the Madrid team a relatively comfortable lead before the return match at their stadium, but they did not make Barcelona's fans or players give up or consider the match as already lost.
The truth behind Barcelona players wearing sunglasses
According to the Catalan newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", Barcelona fans started a campaign to encourage the team to turn the game around, and to achieve that, they followed an unexpected approach that had not been used before.
Modified images by artificial intelligence of Barcelona players, their staff, and legends wearing sunglasses similar to those worn by basketball legend LeBron James before the fifth game of the NBA finals in 2016 spread on social media.
At that time, Cleveland Cavaliers faced an unprecedented challenge by overcoming a 3-1 lead by Golden State, and LeBron James made history with his team by winning that game in San Francisco, where the series ended with a score of 4-3, making that championship remain etched in memory as one of the best and most spectacular championships.
The image of the American player, quietly wearing his sunglasses before the game, circulated and became known as the start of something very important.
With less than a week left for the decisive encounter between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, it seems that Barça fans will take advantage of this moment to inspire their team to achieve another historic comeback in the Champions League.
Many users of the social media site "X" posted modified pictures of Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, and their companions wearing sunglasses, and they also edited pictures of legends like Messi and Neymar, and even Joan Laporta, the club president, and in a humorous touch, the famous mascot "the cat" joined as well.
