Real Madrid have asked LaLiga to move their final game of the season to ensure there is sufficient time to set up a Taylor Swift concert.
Madrid are set to host Real Betis on Sunday May 26, just four days before Swift is due to take to the stage at the Santiago Bernabeu for the Madrid leg of The Eras Tour.
According to The Athletic, Madrid have asked for the fixture to be moved to an earlier date to allow more time to prepare the stadium for the concert.
The club have Saturday May 25 in mind to play their final league game which looks increasingly likely to be a day of title celebrations.
But a switch could cause huge complications if both teams still have something to play for on the final day of the campaign.
Madrid currently hold a six-point advantage over second-placed Girona but, with 13 games left to play, the title race is far from over.
In the event of the chasing pack closing the gap on Carlo Ancelotti’s side, Madrid would have to play their game at the same time as those still in contention for the title, in the interest of sporting fairness.
The same can be said for seventh-placed Betis who are in the running for a European spot next season.
Madrid are not the first club to have to potentially alter their plans to accommodate Swift’s European tour.
The 14-time Grammy Award-winning artist is due to play at Lyon’s Groupama Stadium in June at a time that could clash with the Ligue 1 side’s possible relegation-promotion play-off should they end the season in 16th position.
Lyon are currently 11th after a spell of good form but sit just three points above 16th-placed Nantes with 12 games left to play.
Swift is set to play at a host of football stadiums this summer, including Liverpool’s Anfield and Wembley Stadium.
