The reason, according to Espanyol’s reasons, is the alleged improper alignment of Lewandowski , who had to serve a three-game ban for his expulsion the previous day against Osasuna. Following its modus operandi, the parakeet entity warned Antonio Mateu Lahoz “in good faith” before the match of the Polish forward, in what club sources consulted by the journalists consider a clear offense not only to Espanyol but to the competition , because the action of ordinary justice in a sports matter puts the current paradigm at risk, since it harms its development. In other words, the “irreparable damage” to Barcelona that justified its injunction supposes “irreparable damage” to Lewandowski’s rivals and to the competition itself.
Espanyol maintains, according to these sources, that its claim for improper alignment should not be understood as an attack on Barcelona , which has the right to use the mechanisms at its disposal to defend its legitimate interests, but argues that the parakeet club also uses those that are within your reach. And that he would have reached this determination whatever the result, since it was consistent with his position from the moment the precautionary measure on Lewandowski appeared.
