OFFICIAL STATEMENT

RCD Espanyol de Barcelona strongly condemns any incitement to violence in the world of football.

The club are deeply saddened by the appearance of a banner outside the RCDE Stadium, which crosses sporting and personal boundaries against one of the members of the refereeing team.

The evident tension experienced in football makes it even more necessary, if possible, to take extreme measures to eradicate any type of violent act.

RCD Espanyol remain fully committed to collaborating with the Mossos d'Esquadra (Spanish police force) to clarify the facts of the matter.

As we have always done, RCD Espanyol express our firm rejection of any type of violence in football, and will use all resources at our disposal to eradicate it.
