The Atlético de Madrid visit to Athletic Bilbao in the New San Mamés this Sunday at 9 pm. That is the initial forecast because the last two occasions in which both squads have met in the league, the matches had to be postponed for different reasons …
Only a few months ago it was expected that the Athletic Bilbao visit the Metropolitan to measure the leader, just before leaving to dispute the Spain Supercup that ended up winning. However, the storm Filomena prevented the game from being played. And that the Bilbao team could not do more to dispute it. He even went on a journey, came to Madrid but the snow did not allow the landing and he had to return. An odyssey.
The biggest snowfall in the capital in more than 50 years prevented the match from taking place. The city was declared a catastrophic zone. Something unusual.
Although it could be said that 2020 was worse … Atlético de Madrid after eliminating the Liverpool had to visit the New San Mamés. However the Coronovairus he was beginning to become the protagonist of our lives. To such an extent that a few days after the visit to Anfield the League suspended the competition and that same Saturday Pedro Sanchez, president of the government, established the State of alarm. Needless to say, the mattress visit had to be postponed …
So we will have to cross our fingers or pray in the hours before the meeting so that it can be disputed and another disaster will prevent the Athletic and the Athletic can play their game in the New San Mamés.
