When LaLiga resumes in two weeks, realmadrid will play in a 6,000-capacity stadium that is mostly used by the club’s “B” team.
MADRID — The Spanish league is resuming in less than two weeks with Real Madrid playing its games at the club’s training centre.
Madrid is not stopping renovation work at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium as all remaining league games are likely to be played without fans because of the coronavirus pandemic. Defending champion Barcelona, which has a two-point lead over Real Madrid after 27 rounds, will resume at Mallorca on June 13, while Atletico Madrid visits Athletic Bilbao the following day.
“We have created this initiative to help fans be a part of La Liga’s return and also as an opportunity for them to show their support for the heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said league president Javier Tebas, who gave his weekly interview to league broadcaster Movistar on Sunday. “We want them to feel close to their team, even if they cannot be in the stadiums cheering them on, and for players to feel the support of their fans.
