Clyde1998 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 In Spain, the right-wing People's Party have banned the use of the Catalan flag during the Spanish Cup Final between Barcelona and Sevilla.

sbcmfc Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Not sure if this is relevant, but Im sure I heard the other day in a brief snippet in the radio that Lionel Messi had won the la liga player of the month for the first time earlier this season. Is there an anti-barca conspiracy in the Spanish FA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTeeko Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) The Estelada ban was lifted so there were no saltires at all. At least I didn't see any. Edited May 22, 2016 by McTeeko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
