The triumph of the Real Madrid in front of the Espanyol the Saturday (4-0) allowed him proclaim champion of LaLiga to four days of the end of the tournament and just a week before visiting Wanda Metropolitan. Immediately to the white celebration, the social networks and the media flooded of speculations on the possible corridor of the group 'colchonero' to the champions, by which the club issued a communiqué the Monday to leave clear his posture.

In this sense, the Athletic cleared that there will be corridor to his classical rival because "the club does not go to collaborate in an attempt of derision in which they forget completely the true values of the sport and boosts the crispación and the clash between the fans". Through a communiqué, the institution affirmed that "some want to convert what was born like a gesture of recognition to the champion in a public toll that they have to pay his rivals, impregnated besides with aroma to humiliation".

The posture of the club is totally comprehensible. After the corridor that the FC Barcelona did him to the Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu in the season 2007-08, the gesture between 'merengues' and blaugranas never repeated . The white group had to do him corridor to the Barça in Camp Nou in the last Classical of the season 2017-18, but the technical body of Zinedine Zidane and the directive preferred to not to do it. Instead, the 'rojiblancos' himself did corridor to the Barça in 2013, when the group directed by Ttito Vilanova visited the stadium Vicente Calderón being champion.

"The aim can not be create tension and enrarecer the environment. We receive the corridor in the first party that play like venues, by part of the Elche. With naturalidad, appreciated and, obviously, without any requirement. So important is to know lose as it is it know win. From the Atleti do not pretend to impose at all to the other. It is clear that have another form to understand the life", details the communiqué 'colchonero'.

The staff and the technical body, in accordance with the directive

The technical body headed by Diego Simeone backs to 100% the posture of the directive. The Real very could do corridor to the Athletic in the final of the Champions League or in the Supercopa of Spain of 2014, when the 'colchoneros' arrived like champions of LaLiga, but there was not such recognition. In this sense, José María Giménez left clear the feel of the changing room after the party in front of the Athletic the Saturday (defeat 2-0). "Congratulate to the Real Madrid by the title achieved think that deserve it to him, but we respect a lot to our fans", said the Uruguayan.
