Foreign Championships

While the political situation is very tense in Catalonia, the clasico opposing Barca to Real must take place this Saturday, October 26th.

But in view of the rather stormy situation in the streets of Barcelona where are held demonstrations, it may well be that the match is postponed to a later date. The first leg of this long-awaited meeting by fans and players should not take place in Madrid. Both clubs are against this idea.

According to the daily Marca, the meeting could be postponed to Wednesday, December 18th.

For commercial reasons, La Liga is not very favorable for such a mediatized match to take place on a Wednesday. Question of right tele. But given the European calendar of the two teams, it seems that the date of December 18th is one of the only ones that is suitable.

On Monday, the Competition Committee of the Spanish Federation will decide the fate of this first clasico.

As a reminder, a political crisis erupted in Catalonia after the condemnation of nine political leaders for their role in the secession attempt of 2017.
