Catalan police confirmed that 15 people were injured after a car accelerated into a crowd which had gathered outside Espanyol's stadium for Thursday night's league meeting with Barcelona.
There were more than 34,000 people at the RCDE Stadium for the midweek Catalan derby. Barcelona nervily edged out a 2–0 victory which confirmed their status as La Liga champions, but there was a risk of the fixture getting postponed after reports of injuries to multiple fans began to filter through to those in the ground.
