If the meetings between Real Madrid and Valencia and between Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal were postponed to a later date, due to the terrible floods that occurred this week in the south of Spain, was it necessary to postpone the championship day entirely?
“Be on the front line”
In any case, this was the wish of Diego Simeone, the coach of Atletico de Madrid. “It’s clear that this doesn’t make any sense, what’s happening is something very difficult. There are people going through terrible times, it's sad, and we're in a place where we're told to keep going and we keep going.”regretted the Argentinian at a press conference.
He received half-hearted support from Hansi Flick, his FC Barcelona counterpart. On the other hand, Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, was not at all of this opinion and made it known on X. “We believe that in the terrible situation Spain is going through, the best message is not to stop, except in the affected areas. The best message is to be on the front line in our workplaces, like workers in all other sectors, to give visibility (to the situation)to generate resources and to explain to the world that we must all be mobilized to move forward. »
Atletico de Madrid host Las Palmas this Sunday while FC Barcelona will face the other club from the Catalan city, Espanyol.
