Javier Tebas 'not concerned' about El Clasico amid security fears

La Liga president Javier Tebas says that the Spanish police have the full confidence of the league to deal with any issues that might arise during El Clasico on Saturday.

La Liga president Javier Tebas has backed the Spanish police to ensure that El Clasico in Madrid runs smoothly this weekend.

It had been claimed that the showpiece event in the Spanish capital was under threat of being cancelled following Friday's terror attacks in Paris, which saw more than 125 people lose their lives in a series of planned acts across the city.

Spain's international friendly with Belgium, which was scheduled for Tuesday evening, was called off for security reasons, but Tebas has insisted that this weekend's match between Barcelona and Real Madrid will go ahead as planned.

"The Spanish police are always there to ensure safety in all the matches; moreover, they are well aware as to which games carry greater or lesser risk," Tebas told Marca.

"Nobody can doubt the police's ability to know what's what; they know the times we are living in only too well. Just as they have in the past, they know how things stand now and will take all the necessary precautions.

"Unfortunately, in this country we have great experience of terrorism. We have suffered it for years and therefore we know, as do the police, what measures must be taken for each situation and in each game. I am not in the slightest concerned about what might happen on Saturday, as we are sure that the police know what to do."

On Tuesday, Secretary of State for Sport Miguel Cardenal also said that there was no chance of the match being cancelled this weekend.
