On the morning after Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final first leg, some incredible reports have emerged from Spain suggesting Marcelo will miss the second leg because he’s been selected to work on the polling stations for next week’s elections.
No, we’re deadly serious.
The report from El Mundo suggests Marcelo has been randomly selected to work at the elections, which are being held next Tuesday. The second leg takes place next Wednesday.
The electoral board has argued that Marcelo can fly after working at the elections and, therefore, isn’t entitled to miss his duties. However, due to Covid protocols, that may not be possible.
