Barcelona vs. Real Madrid Clasico Could Change Locations over Catalonia Unrest

La Liga is reportedly considering moving October 26th's Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid from the Camp Nou to the Santiago Bernabeu amid protests in Catalonia.

According to AS' Alfredo Matilla and Javier G. Matallanas, La Liga's consideration of the switch comes after Spanish authorities jailed nine pro-independence leaders for their part in the 2017 referendum, with their sentences ranging from nine to 13 years in prison.

A mass rally in Barcelona has been called for on October 26 by pro-independence parties, the day of Real's scheduled visit.
