It had to happen and now it’s official. The La Liga match between Valencia and Real Madrid on Saturday November 2 for the 12th day has been officially postponed. The strong DANA which left dramatic after-effects in the town of Turia forced the RFEF, following a formal request from LaLiga and the clubs, to make this decision, given that Football has clearly been relegated to the background in relation to what has happened in recent days in the country, but especially in the Valencian Community.
With the number of victims increasing by the minute (already nearly a hundred) and the serious logistical and domestic damage in the urban belt of the city, the holding of the matches is the least of the worries in a city which has experienced one of the most difficult episodes in its history due to flooding caused by heavy rains.
Valencelike Levantehad already had to suspend Wednesday's Copa del Rey match against CP Parla Escuela due to difficulties in leaving the city. Furthermore, while casualties and material damage were being counted, the club's intention was not to play a football match.
The news began to take shape during the day on Wednesday, especially as the Copa del Rey continues to be postponed. Valencia counted on the consent of Real Madrid if he decides to request the postponement of the match, until he takes the decision to officially request the suspension from the employers' association, which, after giving the green light, forwarded it to the Spanish Football Federation.
