Messy hotels and no Messi: Barcelona fans criticise new travel policy



Ahead of the 2016/17 season, Barcelona changed their policy for away games, opting to end the possibility of allowing VIP fans to travel on the same plane as the team, a decision which has led to complaints.
Before this past summer, privileged supporters would not only fly with their heroes, but they were also well looked after once they arrived at their destination and would be set up in hotels of the highest quality for Champions League away trips.
That is no longer the case, as one of the fans who travelled to Germany for the Borussia Monchengladbach match explained.
"They sent us to one of the worst hotels in the city, whereas the club allowed Neymar's friends to travel with the team as usual," the source revealed.
The change in approach was made following shouting from the back of the plane as the team travelled to Gijon last season.
