La liga consider legal action over new el classico date

According to recent reports, La Liga, the governing body of Spanish football, is considering taking legal action against Barcelona and Real Madrid over the new date for the El Clásico match.

The match, which is one of the most highly anticipated and intense rivalries in world football, was originally scheduled to take place on October 26. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent restrictions on crowd sizes, the match was postponed to December 18.

La Liga has now announced that the match will take place on December 18, but only behind closed doors, with no fans in attendance. This decision has been met with widespread criticism from both clubs, who have expressed their disappointment and frustration at the lack of consultation and the impact on their finances.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have both threatened to take legal action against La Liga, citing the lack of transparency and the unfair treatment of the clubs. The clubs argue that the decision was made without their input and that it will have a significant impact on their finances, particularly in terms of lost revenue from ticket sales and sponsorships.

La Liga has defended its decision, stating that it was made in consultation with the Spanish government and that it is necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of all parties involved. However, the clubs remain adamant that the decision is unfair and that they will take all necessary steps to protect their interests.

It remains to be seen whether La Liga will ultimately take legal action against Barcelona and Real Madrid, but the situation is likely to continue to escalate in the coming days and weeks.
