💨 Abstract

On July 27, 2025, a large-scale cyberattack disrupted Barcelona's preseason match streaming from Japan. Security measures to counter the attack affected the broadcast on the club’s website and app, prompting Barcelona to make the game available for free on YouTube to ensure viewers could watch it. The incident began due to an overwhelming number of requests targeting the club’s streaming platforms. As a result, Barcelona issued an apology and will reach out to those impacted.
