"In an independent Catalonia the Barça will play where want to"

The platform pro Catalan selections has answered to the president of the LFP, ensuring that in an independent Catalonia the Barça could play where wanted to

The Platform pro Catalan Selections has issued a communiqué to answer to the statements of the president of the League of Professional Football (LFP) Javier Thebes, that has ensured this Tuesday in an act in Barcelona that the Barça, the Espanyol and other clubs of Catalan football would not play the Spanish league if Catalonia was independent. According to this communiqué, "this is false because the Barça will play where want to and already has said that would follow playing in the Spanish league".

The communiqué explains that "Thebes begins badly when it ensures that Catalonia will be always Spain, because Catalonia will be what his village decide. Act followed, does a false affirmation when it ensures that the Catalan clubs will not be able to play the Spanish league, since as he same argues, could play it if there is an agreement between Catalonia and Spain, and he same ensures that it does not imagine the Spanish league without the Barça. This agreement interestatal would go through the modification of the law of the sport, a fact that, as it explains the own Thebes, already happened years backwards to allow the participation of clubs of Andorra in the Spanish competitions and that in a future could repeat to open the doors to the clubs of an independent Catalonia".

Finally, the communiqué remembers that "when Catalonia was independent will do effective this modification of the law of the sport, and the Barça and the Espanyol will contest the Spanish league because it is what more interests to the two parts. Without the Barça and the Espanyol, recognises it Thebes, the Spanish league would remain devaluated in the sportive and economic appearance, by all what contribute the Catalan clubs. Now well, if the Spanish government did not accept to modify the law, is easily imaginable that any another European league wanted to have a so powerful and prestigious club like the Barça".
