Spanish soccer moves forward, but the situation is still marked by surprises and changes. The recent call-off of the match between Valencia and Real Madrid, corresponding to the twelfth round of La Liga, has caused great expectations.
The reason for this interruption was natural disaster DANA, which severely affected the region, forcing the match to be postponed. Now, with a new date confirmed, the schedule of the teams is even more complicated.
Game Cancelled Due to DANA
On October 28, the storm that hit the Valencian Community caused the game between Valencia and Real Madrid to be called off.
The weather was so bad that authorities decided it wasn't safe to play the match at that time. Although this decision was understandable and supported by everyone, the postponement left a gap in the schedule of both teams.
New Date Confirmed
According to Arancha Rodríguez of Cadena COPE, a new date has already been set for the match between Valencia and Real Madrid. The clash between the two teams will take place on January 2, 2025, a crucial duel for both clubs. This new date will be a challenge for Real Madrid, as it will be added to an increasingly tight schedule.
January is shaping up to be a difficult month for Carlo Ancelotti's team. If the date of January 2nd is confirmed, Real Madrid will face a very demanding schedule of matches.
On January 5, Real Madrid will play at Copa del Rey and on January 9 they will play the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup against RCD Mallorca. This represents a significant burden for a squad that is already suffering from a lack of defensive players, which is causing great concern in Valdebebas.
The Exhausting 2025 Schedule
The schedule for the start of 2025 will be hell for Real Madrid. With a squad depleted by injuries and some key players absent, Ancelotti's team will be forced to play a game every three days.
This series of matches could put a great physical and emotional strain on the players. The stress is even bigger for the coaching staff and the board. It will undoubtedly be the ultimate test for the white team.
Vinícius in the Spotlight
One of the players who's been most involved in the controversy at Valencia is Vinícius Júnior. The Brazilian is not very popular with Valencia fans due to previous clashes, especially due to the incidents that occurred last season.
Vinícius is in the spotlight and the match in Valencia is sparking tension. Despite the DANA, Valencia is preparing to give it their all.
