MADRID - The president of La Liga said Tuesday that Catalan clubs like Barcelona and Espanyol would be excluded from Spains top tier should the region succeed in its push for independence from Spain.Javier Tebas said the countrys sports law entitles only one non-Spanish territory Andorra to legally participate in the league or other official competitions.The pro-independence government of Catalonia is pushing for a referendum to see how many of the wealthy northeastern regions inhabitants would like to secede.The plan is overwhelmingly opposed by Spains parliament, where the government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has a large majority.A debate held in parliament in April vetoed the regions request to hold a referendum by 299 votes against to 47 in favour.Despite the veto, the Catalan government says it will hold a non-binding referendum on Nov. 9, a decision that has led to furious arguments about the ballots legality.The government argues that such a move would violate the Spanish Constitutions stipulation that only the national government can call referendums on sovereignty and that all Spaniards are entitled to vote in such a ballot.Whatever the outcome, the fact that Andorra a tiny state straddling the Pyrenees Mountains that separate Spain from France is allowed to play in the league creates a precedent that could permit the Catalan clubs eventual inclusion.Tebas said that for clubs from an independent Catalonia to be included in La Liga would require a modification of the law that would have to be approved by parliament.For such a modification to be given the go-ahead, wed have to wait and see if the affected sector would agree to such a change, Tebas said, referring to the likely reaction in the rest of Spain to any secession by Catalonia.Separatist sentiment has surged in Catalonia in recent years following Spains refusal to give the region more autonomy and fiscal powers.The push is Europes latest secession attempt following a Scottish independence poll last month on separating from Britain which resulted in a No vote.Catalonia, with some 7.5 million inhabitants, is Spains wealthiest region. Barcelona vies with Real Madrid for supremacy on the football field domestically and internationally with both clubs being listed among the worlds richest.Tebas said the financial consequences of a split in La Liga caused by a Catalan secession would be a disaster to the development of the football industry.

First-half goals from Daniel Sturridge and Dele Alli sealed victory for the Three Lions, as they secured a second successive victory in the World Cup Euro Qualifiers to move to the top of Group F. Daniel Sturridge celebrates with team-mates after scoring the opening goal of the game So how did Southgates side - and indeed the man himself - fare at Wembley? Who performed well and who could have done better? We asked former England captain Terry Butcher to give us his ratings out of 10... Gareth Southgate enjoyed a comfortable debut as interim boss Gareth Southgate - 7 I think it was a good first half for him - his side could have scored six or seven goals quite comfortably in the game and, I dont know what he said at half-time, but England came out in the second half and they didnt fire on all cylinders like they did in the first. Hell be disappointed. Joe Hart had very little to do as England dominated proceedings at Wembley Joe Hart - 7I think he touched the ball about five times and had very little to do, so I would give him a seven out of ten on that. Kyle Walkers performance impressed Terry Butcher Kyle Walker - 8 He got forward well - better than the two left-backs that played - but its just his final ball thats not quite right. He was Englands best attacker from the back four. Gary Cahill wins a header up against Alfred Effiong Gary Cahill - 6.5 He didnt have a lot to do in the game. He was feeding the ball out to his full-backs. He had one good chance but missed and wasnt really tested. John Stones holds off pressure from Alfred Effiong John Stones - 6.5 The centre-halves werent really troubled in the game and he really didnt get forward because it was just too easy for England. Ryan Bertrand was forced off after pulling his hamstring in the first half Ryan Bertrand - 4He got injured in the first half so didnt do enough to get a high mark. Before he went off he didnt really get on the ball and hes not had that many games this season so could have done with a run-out but unfortunately that injury looks like he will be out for some time. Dele Alli scored Englands second goal against Malta Dele Alli - 7.5 He scored a good goal and missed a couple of other really good chances but looks very comfortable in the number 10 role. Jordan Henderson was Terry Butchers star performer Jordan Henderson - 9 He was the stand-out performer today.dddddddddddd He made the two goals. A great cross to Sturridge for the first and a great run and layoff to Alli for the second. He was the best passer on the pitch. Wayne Rooney played in a midfield role Wayne Rooney - 7He was disappointing for me. Very deep in midfield, didnt really get forward and just coasted through the game. He tried a couple of passes that didnt come off and thats not his best position, for me. Theo Walcott is fouled by Zach Muscat of Malta Theo Walcott - 6.5 He didnt get into the game as much as Lingard or Sturridge. He had a really good chance in the second half on his wrong foot, missed and then was substituted. Daniel Sturridge scored Englands first goal with a header just before the half-hour mark Daniel Sturridge - 8I was impressed with him. A great touch in the box and a fantastic first goal with a brilliant header and looked lively. It was his type of game today. Jesse Lingard made his England debut in their victory over Malta Jesse Lingard - 7.5I thought it was an impressive debut. He showed good pace, good timing of his runs and should have scored as well. I thought he settled in really well to international football.Substitutes Danny Rose is held back by Bjorn Kristensen Danny Rose - 6.5 He did well when he came on and probably wasnt expecting to play but got forward well, its just the final ball. Marcus Rashford holds off pressure from Alex Muscat Marcus Rashford - 4I can only give him four because he really didnt get into the game as much. He played on the left, he played on the right but didnt play through the middle which is probably his best position. It was good to see him involved. Jamie Vardy came on for Daniel Sturridge in the 74th minute Jamie Vardy - 4He hardly touched the ball. Never really got into positions that he does for Leicester. It wasnt really his type of game tonight.
