Live Updates: Protests Continue in Barcelona After Court Verdict for Pro-Independence Leaders

"We have requested the competitions committee of the Spanish Football Federation to meet and change the location of El Clasico to Madrid because of exceptional circumstances beyond our control," the league said in a statement sent to AFP.

According to Spanish media reports, Catalan pro-independence groups are preparing a demonstration in Barcelona on 26 October, the day when a match between Barcelona and Real Madrid is scheduled to take place at Camp Nou stadium.

Catalan health authorities said on Wednesday morning that 125 people were injured on 15 October in protests in Catalonia, which erupted after the Spanish Supreme Court sentenced several of the autonomous region's independence leaders to lengthy prison terms.

Nationwide protests erupted in Spain on Monday, following the ruling. Violence ensued as police starting using batons and foam bullets against the crowds. That first day, at least 131 people were reported to have been injured in the clashes.

"On October 15, the SEM [System of Medical Emergencies] realized 125 medical assistance actions," the Catalan Health Department's public health agency tweeted.

The majority of injuries — 74 — took place in Barcelona, the agency said.

According to Spain's Interior Ministry, as cited by El Mundo news outlet, a total of 72 security officers were injured in the clashes on Tuesday and Wednesday morning — 54 from Catalonia's autonomous police force and 18 from Spain's national Police Corps. However, it is unclear whether this number is included in the health agency's figures.
