The La Liga aspect had been ready to take off from Madrid to journey for his or her match on Saturday in opposition to Osasuna in Pamplona in northwestern Spain.

“They told us the outlook is bleak. The take-off runways are closed and that the ice-removing machines are for landing,” a Real spokesman mentioned on Friday.

“We estimate that we have been here more than two hours. The sense of outrage is already irrepressible.”
