“We always play in the evening and return to Madrid at 3.” Real protest: too many away games at 9pm

The real Madrid ended 2024 in perfect fashion After winning the Intercontinental Cup by easily beating Pachuca in the final, the Merengues won 4-2 last weekend against Sevilla. Despite that, AS reports a certain discontent among the reigning Spanish champions: Vinicius and co are tired of playing almost all their away games at 9pm.

The newspaper explains that of the 13 matches away from the Santiago Bernabeu this season, Real have only played two before this time. And this is clearly annoying. A source confided in this regard: “We’re fed up with the fact that every time we play a match outside Madrid we only get home at 3 in the morning…And the next day we train! If it’s already difficult to rest after so many matches, imagine with these times We have normalized the situation, but it is not normal.”

A discontent which, however, apparently has not reached the ears of LaLiga, given that Real Madrid will face Valencia at the Mestalla on January 3rd… at 9pm.
