Spain Says ‘El Clasico’ Will Not Be Cancelled

Spain’s Interior Minister, Jorge Fernández Diaz, has said that the El Clasico, a clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona, slated for 21 November will not be cancelled. He said the security at the venue of the match, Santiago Bernabeu, will be closely watched following the recent attacks in the French capital, Paris. He said although the country’s Anti-Violence Commission has declared the game as high risk, the game is expected to be played with “absolute normalcy”.
