La Liga has adjusted the schedule for the 33rd round of the Spanish championship due to Real Madrid’s progress in the Champions League.
Similar to Ligue 1, where European club campaigns influence match schedules, La Liga also adapts its fixtures, though not to the extent of the French league, which postpones matches for PSG and OM. Following Real Madrid’s qualification for the Champions League semi-finals, La Liga has rearranged the schedule for the 33rd round.
To facilitate Real Madrid’s preparation for their first-leg match against Bayern Munich, their fixture against Real Sociedad, initially scheduled for Saturday night at 9 pm, has been brought forward by a day. However, this change is not universally welcomed, particularly by the Basque club, which laments the impact on its supporters, for whom attending a Friday night match is less convenient.
Barcelona is highly discontent with this situation. Their clash against Valencia, originally set for a Saturday afternoon at 2 pm, has been rescheduled to Monday night at 9 pm. This alteration is far from ideal for fans who had already planned their presence at the stadium and are now forced to rethink their plans shortly before the match. The fact that this rearrangement appears to favor Real Madrid further adds to the frustration of the Catalan club.
