Letting Neymar go and failing to land a suitable replacement until last week were the final nail on Josep Maria Bartomeu's coffin, as Barcelona's president was met with chants demanding his resignation.
Prior to Ousmane Dembele's appearance at Camp Nou Stadium, fans attending the French striker's unveiling started shouting "Bartomeu, dimisión", which translates into "Bartomeu, resign!". The club's poor performance last season, and a long history of dubious transfer businesses have made Blaugrana fans a bit angry against their president, and with all eyes set on Camp Nou to watch Dembele's first day as a Barça player, they decided to let the world how they felt.

The club decided to silence their voices by using the stadium's speaker system.

A motion to elect a new president could be filed this week, as Bartomeu enters his third year as the team's main man.
