Real Madrid abandon team bus ahead of Catalonia trip
By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
National Daily reports that Real Madrid will not use their branded team bus to transport players for the trip to Catalonia to play Girona on Sunday for security reasons.
The club do not want the vehicle to become a target due to political unrest in the region over Catalonia’s bid for independence.
Madrid do not usually bring the team coach to matches which are considered high risk, like the “El Classico” in Barcelona or away at Athletic Bilbao.
The team are planning to arrive in Girona by plane on Saturday evening before the match on Sunday, which they will travel to in an unmarked coach, Marca said.
However, the plans are subject to change based on the political situation.
