Real Madrid will not visit Cibeles after LaLiga title win

Usually, Real Madrid fans assemble at Plaza de Cibeles to celebrate their domestic title triumph and witness the team’s bus parade at the iconic place in the city of Madrid. However, the club have urged the fans not to assemble at the Cibeles this time around citing coronavirus restrictions in Spain. The statement also clarified that Real Madrid will not visit the Cibeles this time around.

However, the statement also clarified that the club were not establishing their claims on the LaLiga title as yet. The statement clearly mentioned that both Real Madrid and Barcelona are in the fray to triumph in the Spanish domestic competition. The appeal gains significance for the fact that Liverpool fans broke coronavirus protocols to assemble outside the Anfield to celebrate their maiden title triumph.
