RFEF has confirmed the first leg of El Clasico will be played at Camp Nou on Dec 18th.

The Competition Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation has agreed today to set for December 18 the date to take place the first leg of El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid, which should be held on October 26 and now has been postponed due to exceptional causes (recent disturbances in Catalonia).

LaLiga, who were the first to request the postponement from October 26, has thus not been able to encourage the teams to play on December 4, also a Wednesday.

It remains to be seen whether LaLiga will appeal this ruling.
