Sunday’s Spanish La Liga football match between Girona FC and Real Madrid C.F. may be postponed if the leaders of Catalonia declare independence from Spain.

In case of such a development, Spanish police will try to change the date for this game, which is slated to be played in Catalonia.
"Security in that match will be the same as in the other matches," said Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane. "And we [Real] will play as usual and not think about anything else."
On October 1, Catalonia held a referendum of independence from Spain, and clashes ensued. Madrid, however, considers this plebiscite to be unlawful.
