“With the exceptional situation due to the storm over a
large part of the peninsular which has forced the Madrid-Barajas airport to
close for the day, and the impossibility of providing a pitch in ideal
conditions LaLiga, after discussions with the two clubs, has postponed the
game”, the federation said.
The fixture was scheduled for 1515 GMT at the Spanish league
leaders’ Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
A new date for the encounter will be published in the coming
days, LaLiga’s statement added.
Athletic were unable to land in Madrid because of the
extreme weather brought by Storm Filomena on Friday and had to return to Bilbao
early in the evening.
The blizzards have caused chaos in Spain, with the capital’s
airport closed, hundreds of motorists stranded, and more snow forecast
Saturday.
Diego Simeone’s Atletico lead the table by two points from
city rivals Real with two games in hand.
