The forthcoming matchup between Real Madrid and Valencia this coming weekend has been designated as “high rιsk” by the appropriate authorities.
This is as reported by Diario Sport, which offered an update on the situation on Wednesday.
Real Madrid and Valencia are naturally slated to face off this weekend as part of the most recent round of La Liga matches.
The match will take place late Saturday evening, March 2nd, at the Mestalla.
Media speculation regarding the match has been steadily increasing since the events that transpired during Real Madrid’s visit to the Mestalla for the identical matchup last season.
Blancos star Vinicius Jr. was subjected to an abhorrent sequence of ethnic epithets directed at him by segments of the home audience. As a result, the match ultimately ranked among the darkest in recent Spanish football history.
Tensions are subsequently escalating once more, following clarification earlier this week that the Valencia hierarchy have denied Netflix access to their premises during the ongoing production of a documentary about Vinicius.
Furthermore, as previously stated in Sport, this has resulted in “both the Ministry of the Interior and the Anti-Viоlence Commission” designating the matchup as high-rιsk.
This will lead to a greater than usual police presence being stationed at the Mestalla on Saturday evening.
The LaLiga leaders concluded their third training session of the week at Real Madrid City in preparation for their matchday 27 encounter with Valencia at Mestalla on Saturday at 9:00pm CET.
The squad began with warm-up exercises before transitioning to ball and possession maneuvers, in addition to tactical work. In conclusion, the athletes engaged in a sequence of contests conducted on sҺrunk fields while running on the grass. In contrast to Courtois, Militão, and Alaba, who persist in their rehabilitation, Joselu and Bellingham adhere to their respective recovery programs.
