Espanyol do not expect any action over Barcelona fake gun incident

Espanyol do not expect any action over the fake gun incident during defeat to Barcelona.

Marca says after being arrested, the suspect has already been brought before the courts to answer charges of threats and public disorder.

However the LaLiga club are confident that they will avoid any punishment for failing to prevent his entry into the ground, citing that they have to ensure the orderly passing of 31,000 spectators without airport style security.

In addition, Espanyol expect to escape sanction over chants against Barcelona and defender Gerard Pique, pointing out that any instances were minimal.
