Barcelona soccer game played without fans amid referendum clashes
Barcelona’s soccer game against Las Palmas is going ahead without fans in attendance at the Camp Nou stadium amid the disputed referendum on Catalonia’s independence.
Barcelona made the announcement that the match would be played behind closed doors with less than a half hour to kickoff, with thousands of soccer fans already waiting outside the stadium.
Barcelona wanted the game to be postponed, but it said that the Spanish league refused to accept its request.
