Real Madrid have been confirmed as La Liga champions of the 2023-24 season, with four games to spare.

However, Real Madrid’s plans for celebrating their title success in front of their own fans have been squashed by the Spanish football board.

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have stopped Real Madrid from waiting until they play at the Santiago Bernabeu before showcasing their league title, according to Marca.

It’s common for clubs to want to lift the trophy in front of their fans at their own stadium.

Real Madrid initially planned to first present their title to the Bernabeu fans on Sunday, May 14 after their game against Alaves, but the new instruction from the Spanish board has instructed the Los Blancos to showcase their trophy in Granada on May 11.

It’s a shocking decision from the RFEF considering that Granada’s stadium is over 400 kilometres away from Madrid and this is the first time in La Liga history that a league champion is being made to lift their trophy in an away stadium.

Real Madrid are planning an open bus parade on Sunday, May 14 to celebrate their 36th La Liga success.

There could be a bigger celebration if Real Madrid go on to win the Champions League.
