This weekend's match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be played in front of supporters despite coronavirus concerns.

LaLiga president Javier Tebas confirmed that the league has a protocol to handle the possibility of the virus spreading, including playing matches behind closed doors.

“We haven’t considered the possibility of postponing the Clásico or any other games, but as of Sunday evening we have opened a coronavirus commission within LaLiga to monitor the situation and we have a plan in place for different cities regarding whether we can play behind closed doors or not. That situation has not yet arisen in Madrid and neither has the matter of postponing the Clásico,” said Tebas.

There have been 31 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Spain.

“It’s one thing to postpone a game and another not to play it. We have been looking at the possibility of playing games behind closed doors and if that is not possible then we will postpone. If that case arises, we have dates prepared for when we can stage those games. We have presented this plan to UEFA so that they can also bear in mind European ties involving Spanish teams. We are working on precaution, not improvisation," added Tebas.
