Real Madrid enters a collision course with the federation in celebration of the Spanish title | spanish football

Spanish champion with four rounds to spare last Saturday, Real Madrid entered a collision course with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) for the official celebration of the title. As they won the trophy without being on the field, after Barcelona’s defeat to Girona, the club is now trying to define when they will receive the trophy, differing from the federation, which intends to hold the official party next Saturday, against Granada, away from home. .

According to the newspaper “Marca”, the Madrid club “did not like” the RFEF’s decision and asked that the trophy presentation be postponed until May 14th, when Real will face Alavés at the Santiago Bernabéu. In addition to preferring to celebrate at home, the Whites would not like their title celebration to coincide with the possible confirmation of Granada’s relegation – which could happen next weekend.

The diary also points out that never in the history of LaLiga has the national champion received the trophy away from home at a pre-scheduled party. The celebrations as visitors only took place when the champion won their match away from home and secured the title on that occasion.

Amid disagreement over when it will receive the 36th Spanish Championship trophy in its history, Real Madrid has already determined that the party with fans will take place next Sunday – with or without the cup. The club is marking the traditional celebration in Plaza de Cibeles, in the center of Madrid, after defining its life in the Champions League

Real Madrid is competing for a place in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich and will decide the clash at home, at the Santiago Bernabéu, next Wednesday, at 4pm (Brasília time). As the teams drew 2-2 in the first leg, whoever wins in Madrid wins the place. A new draw takes the match to extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shootout.
