In a press release published on its official website, Villareal clarified that the perpetrator has been banned for life from the stadium. The statement read: “Thanks to the efforts of the security forces and the assistance of the public, the club has successfully identified the individual and has decided to revoke their membership, permanently banning their access to the Madrigal stadium.”
