Espanyol is preparing a global complaint before the ordinary courts after being relegated to the Second Division due to the arbitrations that the team has received throughout the season and specifically in the final stretch of the course. In addition, he has sent an appeal to the Competition after not accepting the challenge of the match against Atlético for a ghost goal by Frenchman Antoine Griezmann. But in addition to legal channels, the perica entity wants to make its discomfort visible, which is why they join the initiative "Mourning for sports justice", for which the club's social groups urge the stands to wear black.
From the Catalan Federation of Penyes, together with other social actors such as La Curva, the Penya Juvenil, the Associació de Petits i Mitjans Accionistes (APMAE)... a massive protest against collegiates has been promoted. Just as Valladolid did in the match against Barcelona, the parakeet collective urges the stands to come to the RCDE Stadium dressed in black. The surprising thing is that the club joins that initiative and the players could also do it.
Faced with this delicate situation, Joan Capdevila, the club's spokesman, assured that "since the Competition has declared itself incompetent (regarding the challenge of the match against Atlético and the goal awarded to Griezmann without there being final proof that it was a goal) and we are not has given no solution, the club will opt for another path, which is ordinary Justice", he explains.
"It has been seen that technology has been misused and the whole world has seen it. It has deprived us in some way of having the last chance to fight for permanence in our stadium and with our people", he lamented, alluding to both what happened against Atlético and against Valencia, when a goal against César Montes was annulled and a penalty for Braithwaite was left unpunished.
Capdevila also pointed out that "a few weeks ago there was a very clear precedent, in which a match was re-arbitrated, in which Vinicius was stripped of a red card, a precedent that had never happened in LaLiga. And therefore our club, our entity, our fans, deserve respect and we are going to fight until the end", he emphasized.
Finally, the spokesman considers that "the latest arbitrations received, in the last few days, have pushed us to the Second Division and have deprived us of at least being able to fight for permanence in our stadium and in front of our people."
