On August 24 (CEST), Barcelona issued an official statement condemning the use of excessive force against fans before the match against Elche and the clearly inappropriate arrest of a supporter.

FC Barcelona condemned the excessive force used by authorities against club members and supporters yesterday outside Estadio Martínez Valero, ahead of Barcelona's away La Liga match against Elche.

The club believes that the arrest procedure applied to one Barcelona supporter was clearly improper, and the use of force was disproportionate, unnecessary, and unjustifiable. FC Barcelona is prepared to provide necessary support to the arrested supporter and his family.

Additionally, FC Barcelona deeply regrets that police have continually confiscated Catalan independence flags carried by Barcelona supporters. The Catalan independence flag is a legitimate symbol, and displaying it is a lawful exercise of freedom of expression and cannot be regarded as incitement to hatred or violence based solely on this action.

FC Barcelona is awaiting an appropriate explanation from authorities on this matter and reserves the right to take any action it deems appropriate to protect the personal safety, legal rights, and freedom of expression of club members and supporters, whether at Spotify Camp Nou or at an opponent's stadium.
