Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos said in an interview with the Spanish media outlet 'Marca' on the 11th, "La Liga must resume to revive the stagnant Spanish economy."

[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos emphasized that "La Liga (Spanish professional football league) must resume for the sake of the stagnant Spanish economy."

On the 11th (Korean time), Ramos said through the Spanish media 'Marca', "For La Liga to return to normal, we must follow the regulations so that the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) can be eradicated."

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on the 3rd, "I hope football returns. La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation will decide the timing of the league's resumption themselves."

Following this, from the 11th, lockdown measures began to ease, allowing hotel operations and outdoor dining at restaurants.

Accordingly, clubs belonging to La Liga resumed training in early May in line with the Spanish government's easing of movement restrictions.

Ramos said, "We are conducting small group training by dividing the training ground at Valdebebas," adding, "It is abnormal and complicated, but given the situation, it cannot be helped."

He continued, "I sincerely want La Liga to normalize and compete," and added, "I want to send a message of support to everyone who has lost loved ones. To do that, we must come together."

Meanwhile, Real Madrid currently stands at 16 wins, 8 draws, and 3 losses (56 points), having lost first place to Barcelona (18 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses, 58 points).

With 11 matches remaining, the direction of the championship trophy is drawing attention.
