Ahead of the January 3 Catalan derby between FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol, the latter has implemented strict norms at the RCDE Stadium to ensure safety, particularly due to expected hostility towards Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Espanyol will prohibit bulky items like helmets and bags, and any Barcelona-related merchandise. Special nets will be installed to protect Garcia, and fines of €150 to €650,000 will be imposed for violations. The club urges fans to maintain calm and respect during the match.
