Protesters have clashed with police outside a Barcelona and Real Madrid football match at Nou Camp in Spain.
Thousands of fans inside the stadium held up banners urging the Spanish government to "sit and talk" with those demanding Catalan independence.
The match had been postponed in October over protests against the jailing of nine Catalan separatist leaders.
Many Barcelona fans and other protesters want a legal independence referendum for the region.
Before the game a secretive Catalan protest group, Democratic Tsunami, said on Twitter it would distribute 100,000 banners to fans. It also told them to bring inflatable balls and to write on them a "message for the world".

The world looks forward to European and other Western governments and citizens swiftly leaping to the support of the Catalan protesters, and probably America signing a law stating that it will review its relationship with Catalonia every year in light of the Madrid government's oppression!
