14 views

Real Madrid‘s LaLiga match at Valencia on Saturday has been postponed because of the deadly flash floods in Spain.

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced on Thursday that all games this weekend in the Valencian region will be rescheduled as per LaLiga’s request.

The Spanish government declared three days of mourning with at least 104 people dead and “many people” missing following this week’s torrential rain.

Saturday’s LaLiga game between Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano and Levante’s second division home game against Malaga on Monday have also been postponed.

Two games in Liga F have also been cancelled, including Real Madrid‘s game against Levante.

Earlier this week, the RFEF rescheduled Valencia’s Copa del Rey match at Parla that was due to be played on Wednesday.

LaLiga, meanwhile, announced that a minute’s silence will be observed ahead of all games to be played this weekend to show respect for the victims of the devastating flash floods.

Madrid are second in LaLiga, six points adrift of Barcelona, who host Espanyol in Sunday’s city derby.
