Barcelona
would not be able to compete in La Liga if Catalonia gains independence
according to the president of the Spanish League Javier Tebas and the
country's sports minister Miguel Cardenal.
Cardenal has also said that Barca would cease to be a major force in European football if Catalonia breaks away from Spain.
Regional
elections in Catalonia are due to be held on September 27 and have been
turned into an unofficial referendum with those parties that support a
break away from Spain united in a bid to force the issue if, between
them, they win a majority of seats in the Catalan Parliament.
The Spanish
Constitution does not allow Catalonia to break away and any move to do
so will be blocked by the rest of Spain but with months of political
wrangling ahead Barcelona's place in Spanish football is uncertain.
The
Spanish League president Javier Tebas tweeted on Monday: 'If Spain
splits, so too does La Liga. Let's hope we never reach that absurd
situation.'
