How Barcelona, Real Madrid and every LaLiga football club is reacting to the coronavirus shutdown in Spain

Spanish football is at a halt amid the coronavirus crisis and it is likely to be a while before clubs return to LaLiga action.

The competition was suspended last Thursday for the next two matchdays, with a "state of alarm" declared by the Spanish government on Friday.

All of Spain's top-flight teams are now training from home, but many have been filling their time with additional activities during the shutdown.

Here is a look at what all of LaLiga's sides have been up to since the competition was suspended last week and how they have reacted to the situation...

Athletic Club

The Basque side have not only seen their next two league games put back, but will now not be meeting Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final on April 18 either, with that fixture postponed by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

Speaking about the effects of coronavirus, coach Gaizka Garitano said: "It's a situation we have never experienced before and we have to adapt to what society demands of us. People's health is the most important thing. Let's hope we can soon restart our lives, not just in sport, but in the rest of the jobs too."

Training sessions for Bilbao Athletic (the club's youth team) were also suspended on Monday. And on Sunday, Athletic lit up their San Mames home to say thank you to those still working to help others during the shutdown.

The LaLiga leaders suspended activities on Friday after LaLiga was called off for two weeks the previous day. Barca also saw their Champions League last-16 second leg against Napoli postponed and have handed their players a special training programme for the shutdown.

Fans had the chance to watch a young Messi in action as Barca replayed their 2005 Joan Gamper game against Juventus on Periscope. On Instagram, meanwhile, Xavi took part in the 10-touch kick-up challenge using toilet paper, daring Messi and Sergio Busquets (among others) to have a go.
