The whole point of Catalonia becoming independent would be to prove they can govern themselves without needing the Spanish government. Staying in La Liga would show the opposite, that they are reliant on Spain. As for Wales, last time I checked they did not gain independence from the UK.

While that may all be true, FC Barcelona aren't owned by the government, they are a business. And for both sporting and economic reasons they'd be better off staying in the Spanish leagues.

Nobody would really benefit from it. Not La Liga, not Real Madrid and not Barcelona.
