Attack of 'large proportions' disrupts streaming of Barcelona's preseason match in Japan
Barcelona said 'various pages' attempted to disrupt the live feed of the team's 3-1 win at Vissel Kobe on Sunday.
'As a result of this avalanche of requests, the system engaged the pertinent security mechanisms which then affected the broadcast on the (club's) website and app,' Barcelona said in a statement. 'Straightaway, the decision was taken to offer the game free on the club's YouTube platform to guarantee the broadcast of the game.'
Barcelona apologized 'for the inconvenience caused and will contact all those people affected.'
Barcelona's trip for the Asia preseason tour was delayed because of an issue with a promoter.

Women's Euro 2025 final: England stuns Spain in penalties to earn second-straight Euro title
England came into Sunday's UEFA Euro 2025 final looking for revenge — and they got it. Two years after losing to Spain in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, the Lionesses defeated Spain in penalties, 1(3) - 1(2), to take home back-to-back Euro titles. English keeper Hannah Hampton notched two outstanding saves to tee up the victory. But it was Chloe Kelly's decisive penalty kick that completed the Lionesses' title defense. In a frantic, exciting game, the two European powerhouses battled to control the pace and take the win. Spain struck first off a stunning sequence in the 25th minute, ending with a masterful header from Mariona Caldentey. La Roja's tactical strength was on display in this game, as the Spaniards were able to keep the ball moving through England's defense. But England, who has spent the entire tournament coming from behind, kept up the pressure in the second half. The Lionesses were rewarded with a goal in the 57th minute, as Alessia Russo's stellar header sent the ball into the corner of the goal. For the rest of the second half, both teams continued to hunt for a go-ahead goal, but the score held, sending the game into extra time. But in the end, it came down to the penalty kicks, as Chloe Kelly gave England the title once again.
