Barcelona lifts fan-section suspension ahead of Aston Villa match
Barcelona has lifted the suspension on its 1,200-member fan section ahead of its Champions League match against Aston Villa.
The group had been excluded from Barcelona’s match against Alavés after incidents involving some fans at the Clásico against Real Madrid.
LaLiga reported up to 10 incidents, including objects thrown onto the field and an alleged attempt to hit Real Madrid player Eduardo Camavinga with a flagpole.
The fan-group representatives have pledged to ensure respectful behaviour in the stands.
Barcelona says it will closely monitor whether they keep that commitment, as similar conduct has led to repeated financial penalties.
