While, Barca issued a statement, announcing the new date, adding that the Blaugrana were so keen on holding the game at the same date declared before on Saturday, October 26 and refusing to relocate the venue of the Clasico to Santiago Bernabeu.

"The Club’s desire was to play the Clásico at Camp Nou on the 26th, the date and time previously agreed and the Committee was informed of this in writing," the statement read.

"Nevertheless, having received the decision of the RFEF Competition Committee to postpone the game citing "exceptional circumstances” and given that it falls to the clubs to agree on a new date for the game before Monday, the Club will propose 18 December," the statement added.

It is worth mentioning that the clash postponed due to Protests in Barcelona.
