Barcelona to play Las palmas behind closed doors

Police storm Catalan referendum polling station and take away ballots
Barcelona's league match at home to Las Palmas will take place behind closed doors, despite clashes occurring around Catalonia's independence referendum.

The Spanish government has pledged to stop a poll that was declared illegal by the country's constitutional court.

"FC Barcelona condemns the events which have taken place," said a statement from the Nou Camp club.

It added Sunday's match "will be played behind closed doors" after the league's "refusal to postpone the game".

Police used batons and fired rubber bullets during pro-referendum protests in Barcelona, the regional capital.

Catalan emergency services say at least 337 people have been injured.

League leaders Barcelona have made a perfect start to the season with six wins in six games, while Las Palmas are 17th in the table.
