Barcelona, the capital futbolística of Spain according to the UEFA

Small stir the one who has armed in Madrid after lto last image published by the UEFA in his web page and social networks, informing on the distinct schedules of the draw of the phase of groups of the Champions League 2016-17 in function of the country.

Like points of reference for each country, the UEFA has situated usually in the map the capitals or cities more important of the territory in question, planting just below the respective hour to which will celebrate the draw.

It calls the attention, in the case of Spain, that the city futbolística of reference was Barcelona and no Madrid, in spite of being the capital and that in two of the three last editions of the Champions League so much Real Madrid as Athletic have arrived to the final of the tournament.

Barcelona appears in this sense beside London, Berlin, Moscow, Remove, Bogota, Buenos Aires, Tokyo and others of the big capitals of the international panorama, but Madrid remains relegada to a secondary appearance. It will be by the importance and repercussion of the FC Barcelona to world-wide level? Or, because in addition to having a glorious team of football, Barcelona is a more European city and cosmopolita that Madrid?

This it will be necessary to leave it to the understood in sociology and tourism. What for the moment is clear is that, when the UEFA thinks in Spain, does it focusing to Barcelona, in spite of the last discussions that has had with the FC Barcelona with subjects like the one of the presence of flags esteladas in the Camp Nou.

This next Thursday 25 August will celebrate , to the 18.00 hours (Spanish hour), the draw of the phase of groups of the UEFA Champions League 2016-17 in the Forum Grimaldi of Monaco. But, independently of what suceda, the controversy already has desatado in Spain a lot before, with a map of schedules that has not seated at all well in some sectors of the "cavern mediática". It will be necessary to hold.
