Team denies Atlético Madrid access

Atletico Madrid began their 2026-2027 La Liga season with a match against Málaga, despite having the largest number of players from the World Cup final. This was due to concerts held at their Metropolitano Stadium at the end of August, which prevented the season's start from being postponed for them. Unlike Barcelona and Real Madrid, who received extra time because their players participated in the global final. It was originally allowed for Atletico to delay their match under an agreement permitting clubs with players who reached the World Cup semi-finals to postpone their games by 10 days, but the concerts prevented this. Their roster includes four players from Spain and five from Argentina who participated in the World Cup, though some may not play due to limited rest or potential transfers—most notably AlvareZ, who is linked with a possible move to Barcelona. Meanwhile, Real Madrid and Barcelona started their seasons after receiving additional time to recover their World Cup-winning players. Real Madrid faces Espanyol on August 22, and Barcelona plays Eibar the following day. Their opening fixtures were postponed to late August to allow their players adequate rest and preparation.
