The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have confirmed that Barcelona and Real Madrid will face off on December 18, after their scheduled meeting on Saturday was postponed.
Catalonia, the region in which Barcelona are based, has been home to serious political unrest in recent weeks following the imprisonment of nine Catalan separatists, and the RFEF decided that going forward with El Clásico could lead to some major issues in the region.
