On Friday, Deportes Cope interviewed Real Madrid Femenino captain Ivana Andrés on their radio program Tiempo de Juego. Andrés spoke about the upcoming Clásico, the documentary ‘Un Sueño Real,’ and more:
“It is a luxury and a responsibility to be the captain, I am motivated and eager.”

“We have only played one game against them, we have to get better to make it a Clásico. They have been working together for many years, we [haven’t had as much time] but the evolution is very good.”

Real Madrid Femenino were set to take on EDF Logroño in the Ciudad Real Madrid at 13:00 CET (7:00 am EST). The lineups were released and everything seemed to be going as planned. But the players didn t come onto the pitch when the match was supposed to start.
There was a lot of confusion and, for a time, even those working at Real Madrid TV were unaware of what was going on. It soon became clear that the match would not take place.
