The storm Filomena has put in check the dispute with normality of the football matches this weekend. To the problems of Real Madrid to land in Pamplona (he was locked in his plane for more than three hours until he arrived in Navarra at 11:12 p.m.) There have been numerous problems between the different teams to make the trips due to the difficult weather conditions throughout the territory.
Athletic de Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano reversed their expeditions. LaLiga, like the RFEF that has created a Crisis Commission, has taken action on the matter after the request of the clubs. Right now there are two games this Saturday in LaLiga SmartBank that cannot be played and are transferred to Sunday. They are the Mirandés-Rayo Vallecano and the Alcorcón-Albacete. El Rayo asked LaLiga for explanations for forcing them to travel by road to Miranda de Ebro with the dangerous state of the exit roads from Madrid. Meanwhile, Albacete saw how all his plans to travel to Alcorcón were going to ruin with the passing of the hours (road trip, AVE …). Both hope to reach their destination this Saturday and be able to play on Sunday.
This is the LaLiga statement: “Due to weather conditions and at the request of #LaLiga, the Competition Committee has decided to suspend the matches on Saturday 9 # MirandésRayo and # AlcorcónAlbacete. They will be played on Sunday, January 10, with a schedule to be confirmed depending on the weather evolution“.
For now The meeting between Osasuna and Real Madrid is not in danger, although snow is expected in Pamplona for this Saturday. The white team has asked to play at noon, despite the fact that the match is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. Athletic intends to travel to Madrid first thing in the morning to face Atlético at the Metropolitano if the storm allows it to land at Adolfo Suárez airport.
