The clash between the Catalan giants and Las Palmas has become steeped in politics as voters and police clash throughout the region
Barcelona's game with Las Palmas on Sunday has been postponed due to the violent clashes going on around Catalunya amid their unofficial independence referendum vote.
Videos of police beating citizens in the street emerged on Twitter as those around the region attempted to cast their ballots in a vote that the Spanish government has declared illegal.
Barcelona requested that La Liga call the game off as scenes around the region grew tense, and, after being told the decision is down to the Catalan police, have had their wish granted.
