Violence has once again marred a football match. This time, the team involved was CE L'Hospitalet. They had been experiencing a string of difficult results for several weeks, and fans had serious doubts about their performance, but frustration, nerves, or disappointment are no excuse for aggression. Their coach, Cristian Gómez, was forced to leave the bench after witnessing how the safety of his family members was compromised during an official match.

Catalan football is no stranger to housing drama, and especially the smaller clubs below the Second Division, are suffering. The most affected are the technical secretaries, especially those from Barcelona and the surrounding areas, who are working to build squads that perform well with little money and local players. "It affects us a lot. Resources are limited, and we have to rationalize them. As a general rule, we focus on signing Catalan players who don't need housing, because renting an apartment is a very significant expense," says Josep Maria Gené, European sporting director. which has risen to First RFEF, the third national division, with one of the lowest budgets in the Second RFEF.
