Spain’s La Liga has rejected Real Madrid’s appeal to postpone the club’s opening league fixture against Osasuna, according to reports from Cadena SER’s Carrusel Deportivo. The league said the European champions have already enjoyed the minimum three-week break required between competitive seasons. La Liga also pointed out that other clubs that finished their campaigns later, including Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, have not sought similar delays. Real Madrid had argued that its extended run in international competitions left players with insufficient recovery time before the new domestic season, but the league ruled that existing regulations were being met and that the match will proceed as scheduled.
