Barcelona will make it difficult for everyone if they are allow to play in the premier league - Arsene Wenger
Following the high political tension that is currently going on in Catalonia, there has been speculations about where Barcelona and other Catalan clubs could end up playing their football if they were to depart the Spanish LaLiga.
After his side defeated Brighton and Hove Albions 2-0 at the Emirate stadium on Sunday, the Frenchman was asked about the prospect of his team playing against Barcelona in England and what he would do if that was the case.
"I'd try to learn Catalan," he told reporters.
"If Barcelona want to join the Premier League, it makes things even more difficult for everybody.
"But I don't think they have gotten as far as that.
"It is interesting and there will be incidents on the sporting side as Barcelona are a highly political club."
When he was asked whether or not he would welcome Barcelona to the Premier League, the Frenchman said the Blaugrana should look closer to home for new teams if they are planning an expansion.
"I think it will be interesting to see how they respond in the championship," he added.
"We have enough clubs here with 20 but if you want to go up to 24, we have to invite the Scottish clubs before we go for the Spanish."
