Tempers flared off the field when Espanyol and Barcelona faced off, with one supporter landing himself in hot water
A Barcelona supporter who fired a fake gun at Espanyol supporters has said that he did so because he "feared for his life".
Jose Manuel Perez Diaz has been issued with a banning order from Spanish grounds after firing two blank shots at Espanyol fans who were rushing towards him, after he celebrated Barcelona’s opener at Cornella-El Prat.
The 53-year old was sat amongst the home supporters and insists that he felt under threat before firing, and maintains that nobody was placed in danger by his actions.
