LaLiga Santander Preparing protocol if the event takes place

With the political situation in Catalonia continuing to escalate, LaLiga president Javier Tebas has admitted that Spanish football's course through the tensions is uncertain.

While the 55-year-old hopes to at least see out the season in the event of a declaration of independence from the north-eastern region, he has admitted doubts over the legalities of Catalan clubs remaining in the competition.

"It is a scenario that must be analysed legally," he stated on GolTV. "I think it is likely that LaLiga can be completed, but I do not have full security.

"Of course, if [the declaration] is made, I would automatically contact the Catalan clubs in LaLiga to hear their opinion of what is happening, their position, and what they plan to do.

"Our league in Spain is not born by a voluntary agreement of the clubs, but because the law says that there must be a league made up of professional clubs that compete in the state competition, and it can only be played by the teams attached to the Spanish FA."

Costa Rican born Tebas had already stated that, regarding Gerard Pique, the Spanish national team should not turn into an All Stars-style side, made up of players from two regions that would, in this scenario, be separate nations.

"If you are not for independence and you still play [for Spain], it's because you feel connected to the shirt, but it is important that we don't end up with an All Stars team," noted Tebas. "[Pique] has already said that he is not an independent.

"You have to be one of our best players and have a passion for your country, for your nation, and if you don't have it, you don't have to come [and play for Spain], since this is something more than an All Stars team."
