Unusual scenes happened during FC Barcelona's EuroLeague Round 30 home game against Zalgiris Kaunas at Palau Blaugrana.

Early in the second quarter, home fans began leaving the stands in protest, per BasketNews sources.

The protest stems from ongoing tensions between Barca's fan groups and the club's management. Supporters are upset about away fans being seated among them, as was the case last week against Partizan and again tonight versus Zalgiris.
