"Barça-Real Madrid could be played at midday"

Mediapro CEO Jaume Roures acknowledged on Spanish radio show 'El Partido de las 12' that the upcoming league 'Clásico' between Barcelona and Real Madrid on 27th October at the Camp Nou could kick off at midday.

"This year all the conditions are in place for the first meeting between Real Madrid and Barcelona to be played at that time, because of the way the fixture list has worked out. We don't know yet, because it's not for another two months, but the circumstances are right", he stated.

Roures also talked up the impact a noon 'Clásico' kick-off would have in the Asian market: "It would be a sensation. In Asia, people are even bigger fans of Messi and Cristiano than of Barcelona or Real Madrid".

Finally, the Mediapro head honcho admitted that Barcelona's trip to Rayo on 22nd September, part of the fifth round of fixtures in the 'La Liga' season, could also kick off at midday.
