La Liga switches El Clasico from Dec 17 to Dec 23

La Liga president Javier Tebas confirmed yesterday that the first El Clasico of the season between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be played on December 23 at 1pm.

The clash was expected to take place on December 20 as part of a full midweek round of fixtures before Spain’s winter break. However, given Real could feature in the Club World Cup final in Japan on December 17, the European champion has been given extra recovery time. “It will be played on Saturday 23rd at 1300. That is what we have told the TV companies,” Tebas said. “That week, given it is Christmas time we will have a very special round of fixtures with games on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.”
