Birmingham City's St Andrew's Stadium was left red-faced after Barcelona's X page mistakenly labelled it as St George's Park. The Blues had welcomed the Spanish giants to their stadium for a friendly match, which was their final game before the 2026-27 campaign began. The match was heavily hyped up by Birmingham City, who were eager to showcase their capabilities against one of the biggest teams in the world. However, Barcelona's X page posted a video inside the stadium with the caption 'matchday at St George's Park!', which quickly went viral. Aston Villa fans were quick to mock the error, claiming it showed how small the club is. The Second City derby between Birmingham City and Aston Villa has a long and intense history, with the two clubs often using any material they can find to mock each other. Despite not playing in the same division, the fan bases have a strong rivalry, and this latest blunder has only added fuel to the fire. Birmingham City will be hoping to bounce back from this embarrassment and focus on their upcoming season. The club is currently 10th in the Championship, with 64 points from 46 games, and will be looking to improve their league standing. They have scored 57 goals this season, conceding 56, and are 31 points behind leaders Coventry. With the new season just around the corner, Birmingham City will be eager to put this blunder behind them and focus on their goals.
