The Classico is a national and international holiday, and fascinating than usual, with both teams meeting rarely with the same number of points in first place. But tonight's game is also the classic of concern. Real Madrid fears Barca, with Lao Messi as the scorer and cook, has won all seven of her home league games this season and has scored 30 goals in them. Barca fears Mariel, who comes away with a succession of 11 unbeaten league games.

And yes, everyone is afraid that this classic will be coined by the "Democratic Tsunami", the virtual separatist Catalan organization that promised a vocal protest against Spain, following the Supreme Court ruling against the leaders responsible for the referendum that actually called for independence for Catalonia, against the Spanish constitution. The classic is always considered high risk by the police, but this time is an understatement.

After the original October 26 game was postponed for security reasons, tonight's 3,000 security forces are expected to do everything possible to prevent violent incidents, with an estimated 20,000 separatist protesters near Camp Nou. One of the main concerns is an attempt to prevent the Real players from arriving on the field. For this reason, for the first time ever, Barca players have been summoned to the same hotel where Real is staying, so the teams will come out and come together to the stadium. This is supposed to be a very tense ride, of just 700 meters.

"The game should not be postponed because we have given a security guarantee, as we give today," said the minister in the Catalan government responsible for security, Mikel Butch. Barca's management is under atomic pressure, not only because of what will happen in the grass, but because of the fear of a script of mass burglary to it from the targets.

In such a case, she could be fined. In the stands themselves, and it is already clear, signs of independence for Catalonia and Spain will be issued, at an event that at least 600 million people will watch in 180 countries. There is no more international platform than the Classic, and the question is whether Barca will cooperate in a "democratic tsunami" and allow such huge signs on the field.

The group's president, Joseph Barthomeo, is also under pressure, personally - he wants to continue the line of his predecessor, Jean Leporte, and does not advocate Catalonia's independence, and on the other hand, he knows many fans will not forgive him for not putting the Catalan symbol Best known for the independent Catalonia service.

Those who tried to soothe the atmosphere were coach Real Zinedine Zidane and young star Federico Valverde, who talked about the game of football as a tool for unification, but the sporting tension could blow everything, with both teams thinking only of victory, while police forces only wanted evening and night to go quietly and peacefully.
