Real Madrid Asks Fans Not to Celebrate Potential La Liga Title in Public

Real Madrid is on the cusp of winning La Liga's title, but after seeing what happened after Liverpool's Premier League triumph, it wants its fans to stay inside.

Real Madrid issued a public statement on Tuesday urging fans not to gather to celebrate any potential title considering the coronavirus concerns that still persist in Spain and its capital city. It's been customary for the club's supporters to celebrate its many successes at the Cibeles fountain, but Real Madrid strongly prefers that tradition to be put on hold.

"Real Madrid C.F. calls on its club members and supporters not to gather in Cibeles in the event that the team secures the La Liga title," the club wrote.
