'if Spain Splits, Barcelona Would Leave La Liga' by playboy99(m): 5:37pm On Sep 21, 2015 |
Ahead of the forthcoming Catalan elections, LFP chief
Javier Tebas has claimed independence for the
region would see the Camp Nou outfit excluded from
the Primera Division
By Ben Hayward
LFP president Javier Tebas has said that Barcelona
and Espanyol would be unable to play in La Liga if
Catalunya becomes independent from Spain.
Parliamentary elections take place in the region on
Sunday and the independence process is top of the
agenda for many voters.
Former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola is a staunch
supporter of the campaign for secession from Spain,
while players such as Xavi and Gerard Pique believe
Catalans should be allowed to vote in a referendum
on the matter.
Meanwhile, many Catalan figures have claimed Barca
would continue in La Liga even if the region becomes
independent, but Tebas tweeted on Monday: "If Spain
splits, so too does La Liga. Let's hope we never reach
that absurd situation."
Si se rompe España, se rompe LaLiga.
Esperemos no llegar nunca a ese absurdo.

Spain's sports minister Miguel Cardenal has
previously said that Barcelona would be unable to
continue in La Liga if Catalunya becomes independent
from Spain.
"FC Barcelona would be unable to carry on
competing in the Spanish league," he said last week.
"It's absurd to think that if Catalunya becomes
independent, the club could ask to be registered by
the Spanish federation."
Interviewed during Barca's 4-1 win over Levante by
Canal Plus on Sunday, club president Josep Maria
Bartomeu said the Blaugrana would have no
involvement in politics ahead of the elections.
"We have always spoken about sport," he said. "We
will not campaign. I understand that politicians have
to do it, but Barca will show we are neutral."
