Valencia CF asked LaLiga this Wednesday to suspend the duel against Real Madrid corresponding to matchday 12 of LaLiga EA Sports, due to the damage caused by DANA

This Wednesday, LaLiga received a formal request from Valencia CF to reschedule the match against Real Madrid on Matchday 12 of LaLiga EA Sports, which, in principle, should be played this Saturday at Mestalla (20:00 CEST). The request of the 'ché' group lies in the effects of the intense rains caused by DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels) or “cold drop” that has affected the entire Valencian Community, Castilla-La Mancha, Andalusia and Aragon.

The same would happen with the Second Division match between Levante and Málaga, scheduled for Monday, November 4 at the headquarters of the Granota team. In this sense, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and LaLiga are evaluating suspending all weekend matches in the Valencian Community, due to the effects of the floods.

Vinicius Jr. joined the messages of solidarity for those affected in Valencia

During the day on Wednesday, both Vinicius Júnior and Real Madrid joined the messages of solidarity with the DANA victims, with Valencia being the most affected area, with more than 70 confirmed deaths so far.

A lot of spirit to all! 🙏🏿 https://t.co/k8qxhvtvhf

"Much encouragement to everyone," the Brazilian wrote on his official 'X' account. For its part, the 'White House', like FC Barcelona, shared a message regretting what happened in the last few hours. "Real Madrid C.F., its president and its Board of Directors want to express their condolences to the families and loved ones of the people who died due to the storm that many areas of our country are suffering," reads the 'merengue' statement.

From the FC Barcelona want to express our condolence to the familiar of the victims and our solidarity with the regions affected of Valencia and zones of Albacete and Andalucia by the episode of torrential rains.

This Wednesday, the RFEF suspended all Copa del Rey matches scheduled in the affected areas, including Parla Escuela-Valencia.
