Football in Spain should have been suspended after the flash floods that killed at least 215 people in the Valencia region, says Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Real’s trip to Valencia and Villarreal's game against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Saturday were postponed, but six top-flight matches went ahead at the weekend.
"Football is a party and you can only celebrate and party when you, your family and everybody is well. When people are not well, you don't party," said Ancelotti."But we are not the decision-makers. We have to follow the instructions of those who are in charge. Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has said it made "no sense" for games to go ahead at the weekend, and Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said he would have cancelled them.Ancelotti won eight trophies, including two Champions League titles, as Milan manager from 2001 to 2009.
