Barcelona could join Ligue 1 after independence, says mayor Xavier Trias



The mayor of the city has accepted that Catalunya does not have enough good teams to form its own competition, so the club would have to play in either France or Spain

Barcelona would be able to choose between playing in La Liga or Ligue 1 should Catalunya vote in favour of independence, according to Xavier Trias, the local mayor.

The region is going to the polls on Sunday, with the ruling Convergence and Union (CiU) party hoping to secure a large enough majority to hold a referendum over separation from Spain.

"We [Catalunya] do not have the possibility of a competitive league," he was quoted as saying by AFP .

"We would have very few teams and Barcelona will need to join another league. That could be the French or the Spanish one."

The Blaugrana have often been seen as a political symbol for many Catalans, something that the mayor fully endorses.

"Many years ago, the club was a reference point for everyone and was a bit like the national team of Catalonia. The play well and also represent a particular style of doing things. That makes us proud."

Good one for catalans, over the years , they've deprived them of their basic necessities, made them look inferior, its high time they get their independence though it would have a negative impact in their football, as it generaes huge money to the spanish nation, Los #Galacticos will have no rival in laliga, while Barca, Espanyol etc will have to play mediocre teams or have the option in playing in the 'Championat' since most players in the national team are barca players/catalans, #La-furoroja won't be a dominant force again, Hopes RFEF, spain can come together and give Catalunya a fair share of what they deserves rather than splitting, but when it comes to issues that affects millions, Football issue is miniscule. Visca el Barca!! Viva catalunya!!!

If Barcelona joins the Ligue 1, it will strengthen the league and boost it's profile. I'm sure Real Madrid is praying for this.

Re: Barcelona May Join France Ligue-1 If Catalunya Gets Independence by ortopazz(m): 6:50pm On Nov 25, 2012
On the flipside though it wont be interesting again, in as much as Am a MADRIDSTA it doesnt really make sense watching Barka depart it will be bad for my health without any classico(cant even imagine it, no mehn cant), uhm and too I love arguing in favor OF SPAIN HAVING THA BEST LEAGUE, so when barka dominates in EUROPE i wouldnt love the glory to go to france rather spain, so they shud think of the income that football brings and stick together.


And too there's too much history to be washed down just like that.
