Classic between Real Madrid and Barcelona in May could be played outside Spain

The Spanish LaLiga Classic between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, corresponding to the next May 10/11, could be played outside Spain Given the problems of the Catalans with the construction of their stadium and not having the municipal permission to continue playing at the Lluís Companys Stadium on that date.

According to information from Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga Español, the status in which the advances of the Spotify Camp Nou and Although the other option is the Lluís Company, said permit for use is in force until April 30 and have not yet received the respective renewal.

“They have not communicated anything to us (that the classic cannot be played at Barcelona’s house). I know what I have been able to read. There was talk outside Spain, but we don’t know anything. In fact, if there is a problem of force majeure due to the works, as there have been on other occasions, it has played outside its stadium, ”explained Thebes on Monday.

“They would have to have the authorization of Real Madrid, and it would be studied“He added about the possibility of playing abroad.

Thebes also referred to the controversy over the schedules of LaLiga, with complaints from some clubs.

“Every year there are complaints about the schedules, it is very difficult to square the schedules when there are European competitions and Copa del Rey. One feels a lot, but sometimes they touch these circumstances, ”he said.

Finally, the head of the Spanish competition also spoke about the complaints regarding the actions of the referees.

“It is an issue that, unfortunately, we have seen a couple of years. It is not a new topic. I do not like such criticism, such as those that are being carried out by Realmadrid TV or those of Joan Laporta. On February 6 we have a meeting with all the clubs and the Technical Committee of Referees and see if we advance or see some type of solution. A year ago LaLiga clubs said the arbitration system had to be changed, ”he said.

Even though In the past there have been a history of editions of the classic outside of Spain, so far there are no indications of a country that can receive the clash.

However, due to alliances for several years of the Royal Spanish Football Federation with Saudi authorities, it is likely that like the Spanish Super Cup the classic can be carried out in the Asian continent.
