Real Madrid requests to postpone their season debut! Mbappe and other stars are resting as the focus

In the 2025 football field, Real Madrid (hereinafter referred to as "Real Madrid") once again became the focus. Recently, Real Madrid officially applied to the La Liga, hoping to postpone the first game of the season with Osasuna to October 29. This decision not only concerns the team's preparations, but also touches the hearts of countless fans.

Background Analysis: The impact of the World Club Cup

Real Madrid made such a request mainly because the team has successfully advanced to the World Club Cup semi-finals. The intensive schedule of this event gives players little time to make adequate pre-season preparations and recovery. For a top team, adequate rest and preparation are key to ensuring competitive form. Core players such as Mbappe and Vinicius need time to adjust their physical condition to cope with the next high-intensity game.

Reactions from all parties: The position of the club, the player union and the league

The negotiation process between Real Madrid and Osasuna and the Spanish Football Association

According to Sell Radio, Real Madrid has communicated with Osasuna and the Spanish Football Association and has received support from all parties. The three parties agreed to postpone the game until October 29. However, the final decision is still in the hands of La Liga. The

Players' Union (AFE) persists in players' rest time and their cooperation with the clubs. The

Players' Union plays an important role in this process. They have been committed to protecting the rights of players, especially during breaks. Under the current labor and capital agreement, players must enjoy three weeks of vacation and three weeks of pre-season preparation time. AFE worked closely with Real Madrid to submit this request to La Liga, hoping to obtain approval.

LaLiga's preliminary arrangements and criticisms faced

Previously, La Liga had scheduled Real Madrid's match against Osasuna on August 19. While this arrangement has won some rest for the team, it is far from enough for the players’ union and clubs. Therefore, they strongly demand that the match date be reconsidered.

Player health and competitive level: Why rest is so important

The health of players directly affects the overall performance of the team. Long-term high-intensity competitions can lead to fatigue accumulation and increase the risk of injury. Especially at the beginning of the season, good physical reserves and mental state are crucial to achieving good results. Therefore, Real Madrid proposed three-week holidays and three-week pre-season preparation times are very reasonable.

Potential Impact: The chain reaction of postponing the game on the season

If La Liga approves Real Madrid's request, the postponement of this game will inevitably have an impact on the schedule of the entire season. The schedules of other teams may also need to be adjusted accordingly, which will also have a certain impact on audience participation and media rights. Additionally, this may also trigger other teams to follow suit, resulting in delays in more games.

Conclusion: Whether Real Madrid's request will be approved

At present, La Liga has not yet made a final decision on this. However, judging from the positive attitudes of all parties, the possibility of this request being approved is high. In any case, this is an important attempt, aiming to better protect the rights and interests of players and the team's competitive level. In the future, similar situations may occur more frequently, and the La Liga needs to find a balance point that not only ensures the smooth progress of the game, but also does not harm the health of the players.
