Barcelona has suspended Gol 1957 for Sunday's LaLiga EA Sports match against Alaves, after the attempted assault on Eduardo Camavinga during last Sunday's Clásico. The incident came after the Madrid side's 1-2 win, and Barcelona says the move follows disciplinary proceedings opened against the club and some of its members. LaLiga reported the case to the RFEF Disciplinary Committee, while Mossos d'Esquadra identified and reported the supporter involved.
The club's statement was clear about why it acted. It said the decision responds to behaviours "contrary to the values of sport" that expose the club to financial sanctions and the risk of stadium closure, while also harming its image.
Barcelona's response and the risk it wants to avoid
Barcelona are top of La Liga with 27 points from 10 matches and a goal difference of +29, so this is not a club trying to steady a crisis on the pitch. The disciplinary issue has become the bigger story around the team, especially with Sunday's game against Alaves already on the schedule.
The club also wants the section back quickly. Barcelona said Gol 1957 should be fully operational again for next Tuesday's Champions League match against Aston Villa if dialogue restores proper functioning, and it stressed that support should be preserved through commitment and shared responsibility.
The timing is awkward for a side that has won four of its last five league matches and is already 8th in the Champions League league phase with 6 points from 3 matches. Even with that form, the club has chosen to put the spotlight on discipline rather than atmosphere, and the suspension for Barcelona vs Alaves makes that clear.
