^^ Indeed it has
Anyhow I have been following the current events leading up for the Final game. Don't know how many of you guys are aware of what is going on so here's a quick summary.
Madrid may end up playing against a Portuguese or English team in the Final game, according to some comments made by Calderon in a radio interview. The Reason?? Levante players and staff are currently owed up to 14mil euros, and have already gone on strike. This means that they may show up to the Bernabeu, but not play at all. It is an unfortunate turn for events surrounding the Levante team, but a game will have to be played before the celebrations. And I personally wouldn't blame them if they actually went forward with their strike. Levante has already received the backing of the majority of La Liga teams, and Madrid players have also expressed their support.
Listening to some of the Levante players talk in the radio interview, it is sad what they are going through, because you know that it is their Job and what they do to survive.Having to show up and not get paid is much worse because you don't know what will happen next. Some of the players are being forced to sell their cars, take loans from their homes, borrow money from friends and families. Well the list is long.
As a madrid fan, I will be looking forward to the celebrations after the games. But at the same time, I hope the Levante players get paid their dues and we have game against them and not someone from another league..
HALA MADRID!!
