Real Madrid was crowned La Liga champion last Saturday and is scheduled to receive the trophy next week as a visitor in Granada.
According to reportsthe Spanish team does not want to receive the trophy at the Los Cármenes stadium out of “respect for the rival” which can confirm its relegation to the second division on the next date.
The team led by Carlo Ancelotti, which was proclaimed LaLiga champion last Saturday with four games left, by defeating Cádiz at the Santiago Bernabéu. With Barcelona’s subsequent defeat in Girona, they therefore do not want to receive the trophy in Granada.

The white club would request that they could receive the trophy on Tuesday, May 14 against Alavés at the Santiago Bernabéu, or on the last day of the competition, in which they play at home against Real Betis.
