Speculations about the decision have been circulated since now, and this is happening due to political tensions in Catalun, where the legendary confrontation was expected to develop, Periscope reports.

There have been suggestions that, in order to avoid security problems, “El Classico” would be shifted to “Bennabeu”.

But that's not gonna happen. It has been found that after an extraordinary session by RFEF, the Gara Committee has decided to postpone the match.

Now it is up to Barcelona and Real Madrid to formally agree to postpone the match, until the deadline for response is set on Monday, October 21, 10:00. /Periscope. com/
