asks not to receive the cup without Bernabeu… | Relief
Real Madrid will celebrate their 36th league title, won last Saturday. delayed and between various events that prevented us from celebrating the title properly. Firstly, due to a time delay in the match with Barcelona, the Whites beat Cadiz. and they had to wait two and a half hours until we found out if they were champions; given that they depended not only on themselves and on the proximity of the match with Bayern (Wednesday, 21:00), The club chose not to move to Cibeles and moved the fan party to Sunday, May 12th.
Now the latest controversy arises over the date when the team will receive the trophy on the playing field. According to EFE AgencyRFEF informed the organization chaired by Florentino Perez his intention is to present him with the cup this Saturday in Granadain the conflict faced by those of Ancelotti and Sandoval’s group in Nuevo Los Carmenes (6:30 p.m.).
The federation understands that this will be the first match in which Madrid will officially emerge as the winner, and therefore this is the ideal date for the continuation of the event. However, The Bernabeu office reacted “with surprise” to the federation’s will and made it clear that they did not want to accept it that day “out of respect” for the opponent..
If Granada don’t win, or even if Mallorca scores against Las Palmas, The Andalusian team will mathematically record their demotion. The Bernabeu Club understands that this possible scenario is not the most favorable: while some are crying and others are celebrating, and even more so when it can be moved to any of the two matches that remain to be played at home those of Carletto (Alaves and Real Betis).
Without a doubt, the League’s celebrations were the strangest in recent memory. The Merengue team had to wait for the outcome of the Girona-Barça match, and the first team players watched the last minutes of the match from free kicks at the New Bernabeu. After the final whistle, the party began and the team embraced each other in the stadium, surrounded by their families. but no one came to Cybele to share the joy with the followers gathered around the Goddess.
Ancelotti explained the reason in the press center: “The situation is different from what it was two years ago. Everything was in our hands: if we beat Espanyol, we could celebrate.” There’s no point in waiting, if we have to celebrate, we’ll do it next Sunday. Nothing is happening, our fans understand this very well. Everything is different, we haven’t won yet, we can’t think about it. Let’s go home calmly and think about Bayern.” The group trained the next day at 11:00 and was scheduled for 9:30 in Valdebebas. There wasn’t even a gala dinner.
Meanwhile, among the fans there was a division of opinion due to the decision that the players would not be visible in the central square. Yeah they’ll do it on Sunday from 11:00 to 13:00in a plan that has not yet been agreed upon with the institutions (it will include classic visits to the community and city hall) but it won’t go through the Bernabeu. The stadium will be occupied by an electronic music concert by The Domingueros. The schedule would also be inappropriate: in the morning, instead of the classical celebrations that took place at night..
“They didn’t come because they were thinking about the Champions League, and I understand that, but they could have stayed in Cibeles for a while. I was a little embarrassed that they didn’t come, although they said it would take place next Sunday. The important thing is that we have already won the League,” a Real Madrid fan told Relevo last Saturday.
Another fan complained a little more: “It is true that there is a Champions League, but at the end of the day it is a League title and we should not underestimate it. As a fan I missed this a bit.“For Jimmy, who came to Madrid, the absence of players seemed normal.”At this time of night it is quite normal that they did not come. They need to rest before Wednesday’s game. “If they came, it would be the icing on the cake, but I hope we celebrate the Champions League and the Champions League at the same time.”
