Barcelona have made the decision to stay in a hotel next to Camp Nou, ahead of the Clasico. It turns out, this is also the same hotel that Real Madrid will be staying in. In fact, very unexpectedly, both teams will go to the stadium together, due to security reasons.
Nobody doubts that the Clasico will be different from any day to day football match. Security measures will be strong and the threat of protests has made the two clubs change their routine.
The situation is such that Barcelona, in a completely exceptional way, have decided to let their players stay in a hotel next to Camp Nou on the day of the duel, the newspaper 'AS' states.
Barcelona will stay in the Princesa Sofia hotel, next to their stadium. Interestingly, this is the same hotel that Real Madrid will also be staying.
Barcelona and Madrid will spend the hours before the game wall to wall. The hotel is 500 metres from the stadium, so this minimises the risk that somehting may happen on the way there.
But the unusual situation goes beyond this. According to 'Marca', who were quoting the 'Daily Mail', due to security reasons, the clubs will also travel to the stadium together.
Barca and Madrid will leave at the same time from this hotel, in two buses, in what without a doubt will be a stamp never before seen and hardly repeatable.
