It's quite sad writing about politics at a Deulofeu thread, but I have no option.
Some people here who say are Barça fans talk about things they don´t know. First of all, these were Deulofeu´s shin pads he wore at Barça:

Take note of the flag behind him. It´s very clear how he feels.
Second, the differences between Espanyol and Barça are not politican.
These are Espanyol fans, too:
And this is a Barça fan, too:
These are the differences between one club and the other one:
- Barça: Founded 1899 by a couple of swiss and english players, who neither allowed to spanish nor catalan to be members of the squad. After Franco´s death, the nationalist parties tried to use the club as a platform. Chairman Nuñez never allowed that, but since he went away the club is starting to be a propaganda agent for them. Other than that, Barça is now a multinational with followers everywhere, like ManU or Juventus, and doesn´t represent Barcelona.
- Espanyol: Founded one year after -1900- by university students from Barcelona, and has its name because they were not allowed to play for Barça and wanted a club where all spanish people could play for. Almost all its supporters live in Barcelona or their suburbs. Now this is a refuge for catalans who feel different, and don´t want to form part of a stupid gloryhunting team collapsing all media.
