Vilarrubí thought Sunday's game should have been called off

Therefore, he took the decision to step down from his role

Barcelona vice president Carles Vilarrubí has formally presented his resignation due to the club's decision to play against Las Palmas on Sunday. 

There were calls for the game to be called off due to the situation surrounding Sunday's independence referendum in Catalonia. 

In the end, the decision was taken for the game to be played behind closed doors, with president Josep Maria Bartomeu saying it would allow the whole world to see what was going on in the region. 

However, Vilarrubí felt the game should not have gone ahead, despite the fact Barça would have been docked three points and forfeited the game against Las Palmas. 

Therefore, he took the decision to present his resignation from his position on the club's board.
