“This meeting should not have been disputed”: these are the words of Eder Sarabia, the coach of Elche, who lost yesterday in Spanish D2 at Eibar (0-2). Sarabia believes that LaLiga should have postponed all matches this weekend after the terrible floods which hit Spain in midweek. Storm Dana wreaked havoc near Valencia, and many deaths, it is still on everyone's minds.
A decree in the Tarragona region, the rain returns
Only the matches which were to be played in the Valencia region have been postponed, namely Valencia-Real Madrid and Villarreal-Rayo, but the Tarragona region, between Valencia and Barcelona, has just been placed on alert, in anticipation of strong rains, and the lower category matches scheduled to be played around Tarragona were postponed. According to SPORT, the risk of the derby being postponed exists, but the chances of the match not being played this Sunday are minimal… unless the rain increases in intensity by 4:15 p.m.
To summarize
This Sunday's derby between Espanyol and FC Barcelona is not completely guaranteed to take place this afternoon, with storm Dana approaching Catalonia. According to SPORT, the risk of the derby being postponed exists, but the chances of the match not being played this Sunday are minimal
