ESPANYOL'S supporters deserve top marks despite directing racist chants at Barcelona's Daniel Alves in Sunday's 1-1 draw between the city rivals, the Spanish club's president said.
Sections of fans in the Cornella-El Prat stadium imitated monkey sounds every time Alves touched the ball. The Brazilian defender, who is black, told Catalunya Radio that he did not hear the chants during the game.
"I didn't like it but the public's behavior was a 10, both Espanyol's and Barcelona's," said Ramon Condal, the club president. "If we can do something about those chants, we will."
Barcelona counterpart Sandro Rossel said: "It's clear we are not happy with this, not happy at all."
Espanyol coach Mauricio Pochettino also said he did not hear the chants but that racism "is something we want to eradicate in every football ground."
