He Girona issued an official statement in response to the events that took place at the Athletic Club match, where a medical emergency in the ‘Preferent’ caused concern among fans. In the 68th minute of the match, a fan threw a bottle onto the pitch with the intention of alerting the referee assistant about the situation, causing controversy among the fans, as the action could lead to penalties for the club.
The entity would like to clarify that LaLiga has implemented a medical emergency protocol for this type of situation, which was activated in Montilivi on Sunday. According to the statement, the “field liaison” figure is in charge of managing communications between the UCO (Organizational Control Unit) and the referee team to guarantee a quick and effective response to any medical emergency in the stands. This protocol, according to Girona, worked correctly, allowing the affected person to receive immediate attention.
However, the club emphasized that throwing objects onto the field, even to warn of a medical situation, is not the appropriate method. The statement emphasizes that the right thing to do in these cases is to notify the security personnel present in the sector, also bearing in mind that throwing objects on the grass is prohibited and may result in a financial penalty for the entity.
The club announced that it will strengthen communication with fans so that they understand the steps to follow in the event of medical emergencies during future matches. Despite the explanation, this statement caused dissatisfaction among some of the club’s followers, who considered that the reaction was a desperate way to draw attention to a serious health situation in the stands.
