THE AUTHORITIES WILL HAVE THE LAST WORD
Mess with the first legs of Atlético and Madrid: Will they change the order of the qualifying rounds
The path of the Champions League has been defined with the draws for the quarterfinals and semifinals, with the possibility that there will be trouble due to the qualifiers of Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, who play at home during the same week
In the Champions League always have tried that they do not coincide split in the same city during the same week, to avoid inconvenient between fans and that the mobility was simpler, avoiding the chaos. However, in this edition could have wrap in the capital of Spain with the eliminatory of the Real Madrid and Athletic of Madrid, teams that will live the gone of the quarter-finals like venues.
The ones of Carlo Ancelotti will receive to the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola in Santiago Bernabéu, whereas the rojiblancos will confront to the Borussia Dortmund in the Cívitas Metropolitan. It has created some stir in the social networks by the possibility that any of the two eliminatory have to change of order to avoid that the two 'big' of Madrid play in the city in the same week.
They will change the order of the eliminatory?
They will be the local authorities those that have the last word before it publish the calendar of parties of the chambers of the Champions League. There is a very recent antecedent, also in Madrid, of the that probably will guide to define if possible or not receiving the two parties. In the season 2021/2022, the White House played on 12 April against Chelsea and a day afterwards the 'mattresses' confronted to the Manchester City. It had not argued and it is very likely that the history repeat during this edition of the continental tournament.
What himself will not be possible is that both teams play like venue the same day. It would have to have 24 hours of difference between both clashes. In this season there was a case in which the Benfica and Sporting of Lisbon coincided the same day and changed the date of one of the two to avoid problems. In the Champions League is not so normal that produce this situation, but between the UEFA and authorities will give the last word.
