He went on to reiterate the importance of the safety reasons behind the decision to postpone Saturday's game. "I don't understand the argument, the risk was evident," before stating that whether it be Real Madrid or a commandment from God (Sursum corda) the most important thing was the safety of the fans.

The counsellor also felt that the knock-on effects of the postponement was going to be a greater problem for the team from Vigo: "Celta have a more congested schedule than that of Madrid as they are still in three competitions, and Madrid in just two."
