The Competition Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, after deciding to postpone the classic that was to be disputed on October 26 due to the tension experienced in Catalonia these days after the sentencing of the prisoners of the process was announced , urged the clubs to propose a new date. Football Club Barcelona will propose that the match against Real Madrid be played on December 18 at the Camp Nou . A date that dislikes LaLiga chaired by Javier Tebas since it coincides with the Copa del Rey day (Barça and Madrid are exempt for playing the new Spanish Super Cup), and for the impossibility, being a working day, of scheduling the meeting for the first afternoon time and thus attend the agreements with the Asian market. LaLiga bets on Saturday, December 7, although it has to move the weekend games to celebrate a cross-day day.

Barcelona issued a statement this Friday in which it expressed its position after LaLiga initially requested the Competition Committee to change the order of the classic matches, thus playing first at Santiago Bernabéu. "On Thursday, Barcelona transferred to the Competition Committee its refusal to play the game at the Bernabéu, as proposed by the Professional Football League," admitted the Barca club, adding that his wish had been to play the classic in his stadium and on the date initially scheduled. "The club has absolute confidence in the civic and peaceful attitude of its social mass, which is always expressed in the Camp Nou in an exemplary manner ," adds the Barcelona entity.

Once the competition decision was received to postpone the game alleging "exceptional circumstances", Barcelona decided that December 18 should be the right day. The Barca team will come to play in Anoeta against Real Sociedad, while Real Madrid will have played in Mestalla against Valencia. If the classic was played on December 7, Barça would chain the visit to the Wanda Metropolitano, with the game at home against Mallorca to, after playing against Real Madrid, visit Giuseppe Meazza on the last day of the Champions League to face the Inter .

Barcelona, ​​in addition, apologized to "partners, peñistas and fans" for the "inconvenience" that the postponement will cause, and will return the money of the tickets acquired from next Monday.
