New Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen struggled to manoeuvre his Audi car into the Camp Nou entrance at the weekend, with a crowd of fans watching his every move.

The 28-year-old, who joined Barca from Arsenal in the summer transfer window, needed direction from stewards and fans in a bid to squeeze through the tight passage.

After creating enough space to reverse back out and position himself, the defender was given a round of applause from the waiting fans when he eventually made his way into the stadium.
