Spain’s top club Real Madrid is asking its fans to exercise restraint. Rio world champions Toni Kroos’ team have issued a statement calling on fans not to congregate at Madrid’s Plaza de Cibeles if they win the title.
Real will have the opportunity to secure their 34th championship in club history ahead of schedule with a win against FC Villarreal on Thursday. The royals announced that the team would not be able to meet at the Plaza de Cibeles either if they won the title.
