– FIFA confirmed its support for Real Madrid’s position on the need to respect the 72-hour rest period between the matches, after the Spanish club objected to the schedule of its matches without giving the players enough time to recover.
Spanish media reported from sources close to the Royal Club that the Real Madrid administration, led by Florentino Perez, received direct support from FIFA, which agrees with the club on the importance of providing the minimum comfort for the players to ensure their performance at the best level and reduce the risk of injuries.
This support comes after Real Madrid fought a difficult confrontation against Villarreal, despite the short rest period, and managed to win 2-1 thanks to Killian Mbappe’s brilliance.
The club hopes that FIFA’s support will prevent the repetition of such positions in the future, ensuring the justice of competition and the health of the players.
