The Real Spanish Federation of Football (RFEF), through the Committee of Competition, has taken the decision to postpone the Classical Barça-Madrid foreseen for the next 26 October in the Camp Nou. The situation convulsa that lives in Catalonia from the Monday, and that seems that it will continue with the step of the days, has carried to the Committee to act for salvaguardar the security of all the assistants, as well as of the members of both clubs.
In this sense, there will be finally change of order of the Classical and the FC Barcelona will not play in Santiago Bernabéu on 26 October, a solution that posed from LaLiga and that any of the two teams accepted. The first Classical of the season 2019-20 will remain postponed and will contest the 4 or on 18 December in the Barcelona sanctuary, with the exact date still for determining.
The journalist Juan Antonio Alcalá, of Chain COPE, advanced that the RFEF had refused the investment of headquarters for the parties between Barcelona and Real Madrid. And from the last hours, before even that it did official the decision of the Committee, distinct half had informed already on this. Competition proposes the date of 18 December for the Classical, although Javier Thebes denied this date in his last intervention in front of the means.
The president of the patronal of LaLiga defended that this day "play split of Glass of Rey", although neither FC Barcelona neither Real Madrid have programmed parties of the tournament of the KO for this date. It opens the frame, like this then , of a new dispute between Thebes and Luis Rubiales, the maximum mandator of the RFEF, to fix the new date of the Barça-Madrid.
What knows up to now, at least for sure, is that FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will not play the Classical on 26 October, and that therefore players like Ousmane Dembélé, the one who theoretically could not play said party by sanction, yes will be available in December.
