Ahead of their fourth successive Copa del Rey title, FC Barcelona players took part in a shock-inspiring piece of content alongside their partners, Betfair, that sees FC Barcelona super fans paralyzed to the ground from hypnosis.
The fans, who were looking forward to witnessing the famous FC Barcelona ‘Rondo’ training session and meeting their footballing heroes, were ushered into the players’ changing room where they met hypnotist, Jeff Toussaint.
Jeff used various forms of hypnosis and relaxation techniques on the fans and as time passed, the fans could be seen falling into a hypnotic state.
We might all like to think we could keep our feet on the ground if we met our heroes, but for these super fans, that aspiration becomes a little too real as they are stuck to the ground when facing their heroes. The amusing video also sees the fans unable to put on the iconic FC Barcelona shirt as they struggle under remarkable hypnosis.
FC Barcelona’s stunning Copa del Rey Final victory over Sevilla featured goals from both Iniesta and Coutinho, and puts them on course to deliver a domestic double with the team needing one more victory to seal the La Liga title.

Betfair pioneered the betting exchange in 2000 which allows customers to match bets against each other rather than a bookmaker. The resulting Exchange market removes the profit margin built in by a fixed odds book and the odds therefore offer a truer reflection of the underlying probability of outcomes of an event. Betfair is part of the FTSE 100 Paddy
Power Betfair plc. Betfair’s brokerage team is the preferred destination for most of the world’s biggest political bettors.
