RCD Espanyol has shown its protest after the Competition Committee after he has sanctioned him with two games for the invasion of the field that he resisted in Espanyol-Barcelona from last season.
He wants to show his total disagreement with the, in our opinion, disproportionate and unfair sanction imposed by the Competition Committee on the club that would mean the closure of the Stage Front Stadium for two games as a result of the events that occurred at the end of the past derby and we will appeal the sanction to all possible instances.

In this sense, our club has always faced its responsibilities acting in an exemplary and proactive manner when there have been situations that violated the values of the club and the sport.
In addition, in the case at hand and as the security forces themselves have recognized, the RCD Spanish had all the means and measures necessary for a match like the one played last Maycollaborating from minute one in everything required by authorities and with the security forces themselves.
As we have reiterated on multiple occasions, these behaviors They have no place in football or in society and we will continue to act in the most forceful way to eradicate them from our facilities.
