Real Madrid has obtained progress on its last La Liga match to be able to organize a second Taylor Swift concert, which will shake up the entire program for the weekend in question.

Real Madrid does what it wants with its Santiago-Bernabéu Stadium, which it owns, but Florentino Pérez obviously does what he wants with the Spanish La Liga competitions commission… The club from the Spanish capital obtained the right to play their match on the 38th and final day of the championship, against Real Betis, on Saturday May 25 rather than Sunday 26.

Overwhelmed by requests (more than 450,000) for the Taylor Swift concert scheduled for May 30 at the Bernabéu, Real took steps to add a second date, on the 29th, with the American singer’s teams needing three days to set up the giant stage. The 34-year-old star will fill the legendary venue of the recently renovated Casa Blanca for two consecutive days.

La Liga forced to reschedule everything

The concern, for all of Spanish football, is that the 10 matches on the last day of La Liga must be played on the same day, as stipulated in the regulations. Last year, the league scheduled the five matches concerning the European qualifications at 6:30 p.m. and the five concerning the fight for maintenance at 9 p.m. As indicated ReveloLa Liga will quickly reschedule the last day on Saturday May 29.

Real Madrid, who have a comfortable lead at the top of La Liga, will perhaps already be champion next Saturday May 25, but Real Betis, currently 6th in the standings, will perhaps compete remotely for a ticket to a European Cup. Europe with one or more teams.
