"The goalkeeper's move from Espanyol to Barcelona last summer caused a huge reaction among Espanyol supporters. It was a transfer that cut deep, and Garcia's return to familiar territory is expected to be anything but quiet. Adding to the tension is the venue itself, with the derby set to be played at the RCDE Stadium, a place where emotions will naturally run high."
"One of the main concerns revolves around the possibility of objects being thrown from the stands. This is a scenario Espanyol are determined to prevent at all costs. As a result, security measures for the derby will be significantly stronger than usual. The club plans to reinforce areas of the stadium considered most likely to see incidents. Both goals will be under close watch, including the one Garcia is expected to defend."
