Deportivo La Coruña drew at Espanyol and came away with a point from the visit to the RCDE Stadium, while Marc Casadó was booed by the home supporters on his return from injury.
Casadó returns after injury
Casadó had been out injured for several weeks. The injury had halted his rise and threatened to sideline him for several months, but he beat the expected timeline for his recovery. The Barcelona loanee came on in the 71st minute for Mario Soriano.
Casadó on the reception
Asked about the reception after the final whistle, Casadó said: “I too remember the celebrations with Barcelona. It is natural that they would hold that against me.”
Speaking to DAZN, Casadó said: “I was already expecting them to receive me this way here. There was nothing surprising about it. I already knew the nature of the stadium where I would play the match, and I have no problem with it. The most important thing is that I am back on the pitch. The recovery process went well.”
Casadó dismisses opponents' behaviour
He brushed off some of the behaviour from the opposing players too, saying: “These are things that happen on the pitch. The opposing players also know who the player returning from injury is, and they know where the injury is. It is an attempt to exploit this point with a degree of cunning, but it stops there.”
Sport's assessment of the comeback
According to Sport, Casadó's comeback was one of the standout moments of the evening for Deportivo.
