The Catalan city is one of the most heavily affected by the virus

Barcelona have made a nice gesture. The Blaugrana have confirmed they will play a friendly against Igualada to help gather funds for the coronavius crisis. The Catalan city is one of the most heavily hit in Spain and they reached a deal with the local club - third division - to play a match which will generate funds to help battle the effects of the virus.

The game will take place at Les Comes with a date yet to be set, because football is currently suspended.

The region has a mortality index which surpasses even that in Lombardy, one of the main coronavirus games in Italy.
