In the game Espanyol – Betis For La Liga’s 8th match, where the visitors won 2-1, some Andalusian fans made challenging gestures in the suites on the court and this led to episodes with Espanyol’s friends.
Former Espanyol President Joan Cole tried to calm the situation, but was eventually injured as he did not succeed his original plan to calm Betis’ fans, as shown in the video from the VIPs on the stadium.
This has passed in one of the boxes of the RCDE Stadium among Real Betis and Espanyol fans, with former president Joan Collet among them.

When Colle was Espanyol’s president had a racist attack on Neymar on his team’s stadium and he had decided not to condemn the incident, but to believe it was not an attack on the face of the Brazilian footballer.
