The France international feels the division would
be damaged if the Clasico rivalry were no longer to
take place as a result of Catalan independence
Real Madrid striker Karim
Benzema believes Barcelona
must stay in La Liga, regardless
of whether Catalunya gains
independence from Spain.
The autonomous region is set
to vote on independence in a
referendum on November 22.
Javier Tebas, president of the Liga del Futbol
Profesional (LFP) has indicated that 22-time Spanish
champions Barca and city rivals Espanyol will be
ineligible to play in Spain's footbal system should
Catalunya opt to separate from Spain.
But Benzema feels it is imperative that Real's arch rivals
remain in the Spanish top flight.
"We need Barcelona to stay in the league," Benzema
told a press conference while on France duty.
"That's
what football is all about – two great teams like Madrid
and Barca playing against each other.
"If they need to leave La Liga then that would be a
problem so I hope things stay as they are."
Madrid host Barca at the Santiago Bernabeu two weeks
on Saturday.
