Shameful invasion of the field by radical Espanyol fans when Barça was celebrating its League

Barça was celebrating the League. Barça was celebrating the title when, suddenly, hundreds of Espanyol fans invaded the pitch looking for the Barça players and coaches. They went with chairs, fences, objects of all kinds… But Araujo instantly realized that something could happen as soon as the match was over in that giant sardana. They undid their hands because they feared for their integrity.

They went running towards the changing room tunnel while private security formed a border to prevent them from sneaking in. But some almost made it, while the Mossos D’Esquadra made a stopper and a corridor so that all the Barça players arrived at the locker room healthy.

An intolerable attitude from that sector of the Espanyol fans, who refused to leave the pitch. Not even the intervention of the security members made him return to his place in the stadium. A stadium that the parakeet had been leaving after conceding a 0-3 loss in just 40 minutes of play.

All those fans appeared (some were even hooded) from the sector where La Curva lives, the most radical supporters of Espanyol. They lived a moment of great tension. Up to two times, and in Catalan, the same message was heard over the public address system at the RCDE Stadium. “Leave the field, otherwise the police will use force,” claimed the blue and white club, trying to appease the climate of nervousness that had settled on the field.

“I have not seen it, it was already inside. I thought it was time to do it inside. It is normal that we wanted to celebrate it because we were doing it from a job that we started in July. There is no need to look for more controversy”

Xavi, coach of Barça

“They have told me that there was a little trouble. I thought that it was the moment in which we had to go inside, we were not at home. It was very difficult not to celebrate. We celebrated it in any field, not because it was Espanyol’s. I have understood that it was the moment to celebrate it inside”, has argued Xavi.

Busquets: “They have crossed the line”

“I haven’t seen it, it was already inside. I thought it was time to do it inside. It’s normal that we wanted to celebrate it because we were doing it from a job that we started in July. We don’t have to look for more controversy,” the coach acknowledged. “I have felt happiness and satisfaction for a job well done”, Xavi later pointed out, while Busquets, as Barça captain, expressed his discomfort at what had happened.
