"We are aware of the feelings surrounding his return, but it is essential to keep a cool head, as far as possible. There are many external factors watching us closely and eager to attack us. Furthermore, we cannot forget that the stadium is under threat of closure, so we must be aware of what is at stake."
"The first team this season is making us enjoy ourselves like few times before and, as the players themselves admit, it is partly thanks to the support they have when they play at home. For this reason, I ask all supporters to please behave responsibly for the full 90 minutes in a way that doesn't jeopardize the rest of the season and to cheer the team on relentlessly."
Barcelona travel to Espanyol for a La Liga derby on January 3 at the RCDE Stadium with Barcelona top of the table and Espanyol in fifth. Joan Garcia returns to his former club for the first time since joining Barcelona. A supporters' group urged fans to remain calm and behave responsibly for the full 90 minutes, warning that the stadium faces a threat of closure and that external scrutiny could lead to punishment. Espanyol plan to install safety nets behind both goals to prevent objects being thrown. The club has been sanctioned previously and fears severe sanctions for further incidents.
