Captain Carles Puyol refused to wave to fans who had been responsible for the crowd trouble as he left the Olympic Stadium at the weekend and while he wants to eradicate this fringe element he responded angrily to suggestions by Espanyol that Barca fans were enticing them. "The players are 100 per cent against violence and it was completely out of place the accusations that we urged it. We were surprised, when you are playing and your heart rate is pumping you just want to celebrate with the fans and also in that area were friends and family. At no time were we looking to support or promote violence," he said. "We would though like to offer apologies if these celebrations did upset anyone. We did not see much of what was going on in the stands and it was only when the game was stopped that we found out, the referee said he had stopped the game because people were coming on the pitch and were posing a danger."
