Barcelona: Expressing their 'utter disgust' over the terror attacks at the la Rambla Boulevard in the city, FC Barcelona said they will hold a minute’s silence at the Camp Nou, ahead of their La Liga opener on Sunday.

The la Ramblas Boulevard, where many tourists and street performers throng, often till late into the night, turned into a gruesome place as 13 people died and more than 100 were injured after a driver ploughed his car through the crowd.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Soon after the la Rambla attacks, another similar incident took place in the nearby area of Cambrils, in which six civilians and one police officer were hurt. It is not clear, as of yet, whether this incident was related to the la Rambla attacks.

FC Barcelona, the iconic football club of the Catalonian city, condemned the attacks, expressing their profound sorrow at the loss of lives in the terror attack.

“FC Barcelona wants to express its profound sorrow and utter disgust at the terrorist attack that has hit the heart of our city, la Rambla de Barcelona,” the club said in an official statement.

“The Club wishes to send our support and thoughts to the victims, their families and friends as well as the people of Barcelona and its visitors,” the statement further said.
