The Madrid rival who comes to the aid of the Barcelonans, we don't see that every day. Except when it comes to defending an interest common to both clubs. Following the recent announcements of relocation of the Villarreal-FC Barcelona meeting, on December 21 in Miami in the United States, Real Madrid has positioned itself against the decision taken by La Liga, a few days after the short strike carried out this weekend by all Spanish clubs.
“For me, it is a clear falsification of the competition, which means that all La Liga teams do not play in the same conditions”declared Captain Dani Carvajal to Teledeporte. “ I think it is fundamental that we, the players, the clubs and the league, stand together and fight for what is right. However, there is nothing fair. »
For Xabi Alonso too, this postponement is not necessary. On the contrary. “ We are against this match because it distorts the competition. There was not unanimity among all the clubs for the match to be played on neutral ground. There was no consultation. The protests are positive because they reflect the feeling of many clubs,” he protested on the sidelines of the match against Getafe. These speeches were therefore noted, to which was added an appeal filed by the Madrilenians.
Real publicly opposes the decision
According to Marcathe club chaired by Florentino Perez sent an official letter to the Spanish Superior Sports Council (CSD) in order to affirm, once again, its public opposition to a decision taken without consulting all the players in the championship.
A request heard by the CSD, which subsequently “
requested detailed information from the Spanish Football Federation regarding the arguments justifying LaLiga's decision »develops the Iberian daily life. A a long and complex legal battle is therefore likely to be launched in Spain, with on the one hand a desire to maintain the sporting stakes of the championship, and on the other that of exporting its visibility internationally.
