• Incidents: LaLiga asks the Federation that the October 26 Classic be played in Madrid

LaLiga's request to the Spanish Football Federation to suspend the celebration of the match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid at Camp Nou has few precedents in the history of Spanish football. The body chaired by Javier Tebas refers to the " causes of force majeure ", covered by articles 188, 239 and 240 of the General Regulations of the Federation.

The incidents that are taking place in Barcelona these days and the insecurity facing October 26, the date on which the Classic has to be played, have led the League to request the change in the calendar of the season , to that the first round game is played at Santiago Bernabéu has no history in the history of Spanish football.

In the last decades of the League , First Division meetings have been postponed due to "force majeure", but at no time has it been done due to incidents such as those occurring in Catalonia. Yes due to weather, heavy rain, snow or cold drop . The last example, in the 2016-2017 season, with the postponement of Celta-Real Madrid due to the poor state of the Balaidos deck after the storm that hit Galicia.

The most similar case to the Classic is found in the Barcelona-Las Palmas that was held at the Camp Nou on October 1, 2017, the date on which the illegal referendum was held in Catalonia. Despite the situation of tension in Barcelona, ​​the game ended up playing, but behind closed doors.

The incidents, in some cases murders, caused by the ultras have not led to the previous cancellation of a meeting. Not even with the death of Aitor Zabaleta, a Txuri-Urdin fan, before Atlético de Madrid-Real Sociedad more than 20 years ago, nor with that of Jimmy, a member of the Riazor Blues, after a fight between ultras of Deportivo de La Coruña and Atlético de Madrid in the Manzanares. Both matches were played that same day at the Calderón.

Mourning has been one of the most recurring causes for the suspension of meetings in Spanish professional football. This same year, the Federation postponed the entire Second Division day after the death of José Antonio Reyes , Extremadura player at that time.

The suspensions in Europe

Bomb threats, fights between ultras, snow, mourning ... Europe has also postponed matches for "force majeure" before its start. It happened in Dortmund, in that attack in which the Spaniard Marc Bartra was injured, or in Belgium-Spain of 2015 postponed for risk of attack , or in Italy, during the incidents between ultras in 2007 that motivated the postponement of a Rome- Cagliari In South America, the most popular and recent case is the transfer of the 2018 Copa Libertadores final between River Plate and Boca Juniors to Madrid for the incidents caused by the ultras.
