Real Club Celta embodies, defends, and promotes values that all its supporters know and share, as they truly stem from them. Violence, in any form, is not part of the identity or values of Celta. Therefore, the club firmly condemns any act of violence, such as the one that occurred last night on a central street in the city against Olympique Lyon fans.
Celta will take the necessary measures to prevent this type of violent supporter, who in no way represents Celta’s values, from occupying a seat at Abanca Balaídos stadium—a place where only sporting rivalry, based on tolerance and respect, has a place.
The club trusts and hopes that both tonight’s match and the return leg in Lyon will take place without further incidents and will be exclusively what they should be: an exciting sporting challenge to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
