Many thanks to the readership who pointed out that it is Barcelona and not Real Madrid. Never again will I pay attention to the sports news while I blog!
Syria's official television channel has a new claim: the Barcelona Football Club played out a secret map of how to smuggle weapons from Lebanon into Syria for the rebels. The opposing soccer team was apparently in on it by demonstrating where obstacles would be. This is either one of the complexly hidden maps ever or one of the biggest cases of seeing something where there is really nothing. The latter is the correct answer.
Why would Syria even think Barcelona is a covert tool for the rebels? Barcelona is sponsored by the Qatar Foundation, a private/public charity partnership in Qatar.
Syria believes Qatar is using the foundation as a front to support the rebels. This is based on Qatar's overt support to Libya's rebels and Qatar pushing the Arab League for action concerning Syria's civil war.
The original map is shown below in the Syrian news clip.

Barcelona is sponsored by Qatar Foundation. Not Real Madrid.
The red/blue jersey with "Qatar Foundation" on it is the Barcelona jersey, not Real Madrid. Madrid is sponsored by "bwin.com."
