In a statement released on Thursday, LaLiga expressed its condolences. They said,  “Spain’s professional football joins in solidarity with the families of the victims and the missing.”

Real Madrid has also announced a contribution to the relief efforts of one million euros to support those affected by the disaster. 

“The Real Madrid Foundation and the Red Cross have launched a fundraising campaign to aid those impacted by the storm. The club has decided to support this initiative with a donation of one million euros to help the many families in critical need,” the club said in its announcement.
