The fact that the matches via DAZN It does not mean that we cannot enjoy all the matches from Movistar. In fact, as we have already mentioned, we can do it through miMovistar and the desco.

If we take into account all the options that Movistar offers through its devices, the reality is that there is no compelling reason to demand that the arrival to the DAZN app has to occur in record time.
