‘Catalan teams must stay in Spain’

Vicente del Bosque says “it’d be bad for everyone” if Catalan teams were kicked out of the Spanish League system.

LFP President Javier Tebas and Secretary of State for Sport Miguel Cardenal have already warned Catalan clubs that they would not be allowed to play in Spain if independence ever bore fruition, but La Roja’s Coach believes neither party would benefit from such a stance.

“It’d be bad for everyone if Catalan teams were kicked out of the Spanish League,” he told Cadena SER.

“The issue of Catalan independence is something that we don’t perceive in the national team.

“There’s a good feeling between everyone [in the squad] – Catalans, Galicians, everyone.

"With Pique [being booed], it has brought everyone together as they all feel the attacks on the lad.”
