The Madrid City Council will deploy a device of 130 Municipal Police officers to avoid crowds around the squares where Atlético de Madrid (Neptuno) and Real Madrid (Cibeles) celebrate their triumphs, which are played that day for the league title.

Sanz also recalled that “the clubs have already conveyed that they will not go to these sources“To the troops deployed by the Municipal Police, we must add those deployed by the National Police, according to the Consistory in a press release.
