LaLiga ha solicitado al Comité de Competición un cambio de orden en los clásicos Barça-Madrid / | SPORT.es

A decision will be made on whether to play next weekend's Clasico in the coming days

On Wednesday it was revealed that La Liga had requested that the RFEF's Competition Committee change next weekend's Clasico to the Bernabeu from Camp Nou. 

La Liga feel that the game should not be played in Barcelona due to the political unrest in Catalonia following the prison sentences handed to nine politicians an civil leaders from the reason. 

And according to Diario AS, Spain's Sports Council, as part of the government, is also against the game going ahead at Camp Nou on Oct. 26 at 13.00h. 

Always per AS, the reason for that is: "As events are developing we consider that, in the same way as La Liga and the RFEF, for security reasons, it's not reasonable to play this game as is planned." 

Now it's up to the Competition Committee to make a final decision after hearing arguments from both clubs. Barça are happy for the game to go ahead, while Real Madrid would like it postponed and played at a later daye, not moved to the Bernabeu.
