This decision comes after a request from the two Madrid clubs. Indeed, both the Real of Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard as Atlético of Yannick Carrasco believes that the return of the South American internationals, on the bridge until Thursday evening time of the South American continent, is too late, especially in view of their deadline in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Merengues were to welcome the Basques of the Athletic Club while a trip to Granada awaited the Colchoneros. The two teams have 17 points and share the lead with Adnan Januzaj’s Real Sociedad.
These postponements, on dates still unknown, will therefore allow the clubs to benefit from more time before their third match on the European stage on Tuesday (9 p.m.). Casa Blanca will challenge Shakhtar Donetsk in Kiev as Atlético host Liverpool in Group B shock.
