According to Sport, when Barcelona players leave the training ground, fans gather to take photos, request autographs, or greet their idols, a situation that has long caused numerous problems. To improve order at the location and avoid tense situations, Barcelona's security department has introduced a new tool: drones that monitor various exit gates of Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper from above.

This measure aims to provide a comprehensive view of the situation across different areas and enable real-time confirmation of which exit gates have fewer people, allowing players with urgent matters to leave the training ground through those exits and avoid the most crowded areas.

A longstanding concern

For years, Barcelona has sought solutions to this problem, which occurs almost daily. Most fans have good intentions, hoping to take photos or get autographs, but sometimes the number of people gathering can reach significant levels, and some occasionally cross the line.

Íñigo Martínez experienced a notable incident. In2024, the center-back was verbally harassed and provoked by some youths as he left Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and subsequently got into an altercation with them. Martínez stopped his car, got out, and confronted them about their behavior.

Coach Hansi Flick has also been affected by this issue. In October 2024, the German manager witnessed a group of fans behaving disrespectfully toward security personnel and demanded they show respect. He scolded them at the time, saying: "I stop here two or three times a week, please show some respect."

These examples show that the problem extends beyond photos and autographs. Large crowds can obstruct vehicle traffic and put players, club staff, and the fans themselves in awkward situations.

Up to 80 people waiting for Rodri

The situation occurred again on Tuesday. Up to 80 people gathered at an exit gate of Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, attempting to take photos with Rodri, making it difficult for vehicles trying to leave the training ground to pass through. Rodri stopped to accommodate some fans' requests, while Dani Olmo waited in his car behind him, honking his horn once due to the difficulty in moving forward.

This scene demonstrates the value of the new equipment. With an aerial view, security chiefs can quickly identify the most crowded areas and decide which exit gates are clearer based on real-time conditions.
