Real Madrid's Match Against Valencia In Doubt Following Major Storm
Real Madrid's La Liga game against Valencia is increasingly likely to be postponed due to a storm which has caused devastating destruction and the tragic loss of lives in the province of Valencia.
Reports from Relevo correspondent Nacho Sanchis say that the match scheduled for Saturday, November 2, is in serious doubt of going ahead after widespread destruction affecting countless families across Valencia.
Dramatic rescues have been taking place in Spain's Valencia region, after flash floods swept away cars and turned streets into rivers, leaving at least 52 people dead, in the worst natural disaster to hit the European nation in recent memory.
