La Liga, Spain’s top football division, has requested the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) move or postpone the Oct. 26 match amid ongoing protests in Catalonia over the jailing of nine Catalan separatist leaders. Spain's El Mundo newspaper reported on Thursday that the federation was poised to postpone the fixture. Valverde, however, believes the match should go ahead as planned. We respect the opposite - in this case our opponent - and that by being civil the match can be played," Valverde said. We can show that the match can be played as normal and forget about them.”
