Barcelona has requested La Liga to move their match against Atletico Madrid to another hour as it coincides with the Sant Jordi festival. The festival is a combination of culture and romanticism, and thousands of people will fill the streets of Barcelona to buy books and roses. The match is scheduled for April 23, with the kick-off slated at 4:15 pm. Barcelona wants to avoid traffic on matchday, and hence the request to move the match to another hour.
Before the Atletico game, Barcelona is currently preparing for the upcoming El Clasico. With a 1-0 advantage, the Blaugrana is scheduled to host Real Madrid for the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg. However, Barcelona will be without Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, Andreas Christensen, and Ousmane Dembele as all of them are nursing their respective injuries. In order to compensate for the loss, Xavi has called up young talents for the fixture.
Barcelona will have two league matches, against Girona on April 10 and Getafe on April 15 before taking on Atletico Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou. The team is hoping to secure a win in all the matches and maintain their position in the league. The request to move the match against Atletico Madrid to another hour is a strategic move to avoid traffic and ensure that the team arrives at the stadium on time.
