In this photo dated Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2017, the Camp Nou stadium is seen illuminated ahead of a soccer match between Barcelona F.C and Eibar in Barcelona, Spain, Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2017.

When Barcelona plays, fans chant “Independence!”, generally 17 minutes and 14 seconds into every match, to mark the year, 1714, when Spain first took away self-rule from Catalonia.(AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
