Official statement
The club has permanently expelled as a member the person identified yesterday by the Police, in collaboration with our Security Department, as responsible for throwing an object during the derby. Our Security Department continues to work with the Police to identify the rest of those involved, who will be permanently expelled as soon as they are located.
Furthermore, the club will imminently incorporate into its internal regulations the prohibition of using inside the stadium any element or garment that prevents distinguishing the face of a person in order to hide their identity, which until now was not contemplated in our regulations. In the event of non-compliance with this rule, they will be immediately expelled from the stadium.
The club's firm conviction to eradicate any form of violence and our defence of the values of sport are unquestionable. We will continue to work with all our resources with the aim of eliminating this type of behavior. We must not allow a few individuals to tarnish the image of a unique fan base, the vast majority of which demonstrated this once again yesterday in an exemplary manner.
