Bloody hell.

The Barcelona derby. Barca avoid defeat and they win the league. Espanol avoid defeat and they stay up. Tonnes of empty seats there.

Edit: the big bank of empty seats behind the goal seems to be some kind of protest? Still, not sold out which seems common for many big games in la liga

Espanyol have had the best two opportunities to score.
By the way, before the FA Cup game against Leeds a number of years ago I was in the road outside the Canton Cross (along with hundreds of others) and with a can of beer in my hand when a driver was spooked by the crowd he was trying to get through - with the result that the car caught me from behind and I somersaulted backwards over the car and landed prostrate still with my can of beer in my hand. I reported the incident to the Police but they said that they had no witnesses!

I saw somewhere that a supporter drove into a crowd of the opposition before the game.

Sorry TBG, didn’t actually read the op and just assumed it was about the game.

Somersaulted backwards over the car .... or fell backwards onto the car?
If it was the former, that would be a major incident, old fruit.

It was more the former as I was standing up when the car hit me from behind. It was reported to the Police as a result, old fruit. They identified the driver but wouldn't take it any further.
The driver was panicked as City fans were not exactly letting him through without harassment but I wasn't impressed by the Police.
