• Initiative .. The Government presses to postpone the Classic
  • Regulation: Why can a game be suspended?
  • Background: 1-O, Balaído, Aitor Zabaleta, Reyes ... The other suspensions (or not) of Spanish football

The Spanish Football Federation, through its Competition Committee, will take the decision in the next few hours to suspend the Barcelona-Real Madrid , initially scheduled for Saturday, October 26 at 1:00 p.m. According to several sources consulted by this newspaper, it is the only viable way once analyzed the situation in Catalonia , and especially the city of Barcelona , after knowing last Monday the sentence of the process .

It is totally ruled out to reverse the order of the matches , as LaLiga intended, and there is hardly any hope that, if the situation turns 180 degrees, the match can be played in the planned scenario. "But come on, 99% the decision is going to be the suspension, " state sources explain. From Real Madrid , one of the clubs involved, the same message is transmitted. " Except miracle, he won't play, " they slide from the Bernabéu . In the white club it is assumed that it will be held, in all probability, on Wednesday, December 18 .

Precisely Real Madrid has sent its allegations to Competition on the morning of Thursday . In them, the white club argues its refusal to play at the Bernabéu in the impossibility of organizing such a match in such a short time and, above all, that the normal development of the competition would be altered. They bet, if the situation advises, for a suspension . In the City of Soccer they are waiting for Barca's allegations to arrive, which also refuses to play at the Bernabéu. His first option is to do it at the Camp Nou , but he understands, if the circumstances do not occur, that postponement.

The Competition Committee, the body in charge of formalizing the process, has not requested any report from the Police or the Government Delegation , among other things because it would be of no use when there are so many days left for the party. It does have the information that the Federation of high levels of the Government has been collecting . In this information weighs, above all, that the 26 is the date on which 115 entities of all kinds , such as the ANC and Òmnium, UGT, CC.OO. In Catalonia , neighborhood and cultural parties or associations prepare a "great transversal demonstration" in protest against the sentence for sedition against the sovereignist leaders. The time of the classic (13.00), coinciding with the mobilization, discourages, in the opinion of the Federation, the celebration of the party.

Why December 18? It is a Wednesday in which one of the first rounds of the Copa del Rey is played, from which Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atlético and Valencia are exempt, who will play the Spanish Super Cup at the beginning of January.
