Real Madrid angry at Champions League schedule

Real Madrid have been left quite unhappy with UEFA’s decision regarding the dates on which the 1/2-final matches in the Champions League will take place. Los Blancos will host Manchester City on May 9, and the rematch at the Etihad will be played on May 17.

The reason for the discontent of the Spanish side is related to the fact that the first semi-final clash with City will be only three days after the final of Cope Del Rey, which will be played on May 6 at the La Cartuja stadium in Seville.

Real hoped that UEFA would take this into account and schedule the match with Man City for May 10 to give them more time for recovery.

So Carlo Ancelotti’s players will have very little time to recover and prepare for the Champions League semi-final, and it could be even shorter if the final with Osasuna does not finish in regular time and goes to extra time and penalties .
