Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has described the fines imposed by UEFA on Barcelona for the Super Cup match delays and incidents as unfair and excessive.

The European champions revealed they were fined €110,000 by UEFA for coming out for the second half of the game against Porto two minutes late and for the lighting of 10 flares by fans in the Stade Louis II.

Rosell was quoted by Onda Cero Catalunya as saying: “We will comply with the law, but I think that one sanction is unjust and the other excessive.

“Regarding the matter of coming out after half-time , it’s excessive because in a changing room many things happen during these minutes, players are going to the bathroom at the last minute...It’s the law but I think it’s excessive.

“But the sanction for the flares is worse because it’s unfair. Barcelona cannot be responsible who brings flares into this stadium because Barcelona don’t control who enters and who doesn’t enter that ground. And what if they weren’t Barca fans who had the flares?”
