Pique nervous, that's what he did before the match.

Eventually, though, the decision was made to play without fans.

All this because in the province of Catalonia it is holding a referendum on independence from Spain, and thus things in the city of Barcelona have been strained between citizens and police.

Fearing things would pass through the stadium during the meeting between Barcelona and Las Palma, locals initially demanded that the match be postponed.

So he did not think the Federation of Spain, which then in collaboration with the Catalonas club made a decision to keep it going in advance but without fans.

Even the players at the barca club were divided into two parts, those that were pro-playing and opposing.

The loudest one not played was Gerard Pique, who refused to enter the field until the last moments.

The Spanish defender is one of those players who has always raised voices for the Catalon province to be separated from Spain.
