El Clasico could be postponed. What happened?
The weather could force a last-minute change to one of the biggest matches in Spanish women's football.
Details: Barcelona have officially asked for Sunday's Liga F Clasico against Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou to be moved from 17:00 to 19:00 local time. The Catalan club says the two-hour delay would help ensure that the stadium is fully operational and safe, while also making travel and access easier for supporters.

The request comes amid a spell of severe weather affecting Catalonia. Heavy and potentially torrential rain, thunderstorms and strong winds have prompted weather warnings in the region, creating concerns over transport, access to the stadium and the venue's operation ahead of the match.
Barcelona stressed that they remain in permanent contact with Liga F and the relevant competition authorities while monitoring the situation. No final change has yet been approved: the definitive decision will be taken on the morning of October 4, depending on how conditions develop and on instructions from the competent authorities.
The club has promised to inform members and supporters of any update through its official channels. For now, the fixture remains scheduled for 17:00 at Spotify Camp Nou, with Barcelona's request to delay kick-off by two hours still awaiting a final ruling.
It is worth noting that this is a meeting between the top two teams in Liga F after five rounds. Barcelona lead the standings with a perfect 15 points and a 21:2 goal difference, while Real Madrid sit second with 13 points after four victories and one draw.
