Real Madrid officially asked La Liga to play the game vs Alaves on Saturday, instead of Sunday, so they can have more time to rest for the Arsenal game…
…La Liga said NO, reports La Ser.
Is this a sign that Real Madrid is being afraid of Arsenal or it should be a sign to Arsenal that Real Madrid is planning them seriously.
My concern is how Laliga outrightly said No in reply. If Real Madrid have that advantage, in the future many clubs in Laliga would want such a privilege and it would be a problem.
If I were Real Madrid, I would focus in Laliga. It would not be fine to lose against Alaves because of champions league they are not sure about.
Real Madrid have been inconsistent in the UEFA Champions League. They've suffered major loss in the first leg at Emirates Stadium. Arsenal become determined to knock out Real Madrid following the epic show they portrayed previous game. Carlo Ancelotti is more concerned with their league game because the days given is too short and they're meeting the Gunners next week. A must win for Real Madrid to qualify for the next round. Let's see how things play out.
