Things could get quite turbulent in La Liga over the next fortnight.

This week you've had the government sentencing Catalan independence leaders to 5-13 years in prison.


Barcelona have obviously gotten involved -




So have Pique, Xavi etc. and of course Pep.

Guardiola: The Catalan leaders' sentence is an attack on human rights

Last night at a candle lit vigil for the imprisoned politicians, riot police, started firing rubber bullets into the crowd.







That's lead to more clashes between police and protesters.

And to top it all off, the Clasico, which has been a weird proxy fight between the government and Catalonia since Franco's reign, is in 10 days, where Barcelona are expected to wear a special "fourth kit" which is a Senyera, a Catalan flag.

And it's in Barcelona as well, so an angry home crowd. Things might get a bit out of hand. Wouldn't be surprising if the game was cancelled, Barca had a game cancelled last time this flared up in 2017.

Was going to post the exact same thing. I see this spilling over into the Champions League.
 
Its been proposed that they reverse the Classico so the Bernabeu hosts the game next week which - initially at least, has been rejected. Can see it getting cancelled quite easily.
 
Fixture suspended.

What will happen when Barcelona play Slavia Prague in the CL?

This could quite easily end in disaster for Barcelona. It will not be long until unrest spills over into the football club.
