Storm Filamena played its role in the 18th round of matches in La Liga as Real Madrid missed a chance to go top of the table on Saturday.
Heavy snow of over 50 centimeters made it impossible for league leaders Atletico Madrid to entertain Athletic Club Bilbao, whose plane was unable to land at Madrid airport, and the pitch at Atletico's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium was also unplayable under a deep blanket of snow.
It is reported that the heavy snow in Madrid has also affected the traffic on a large scale. In order to go out, the citizens have made "unique tricks".
At the same time, the heavy snow also brought endless fun to the local residents. In the streets and lanes, people use snowboards and sled boards as a means of transportation. In the park, people play to their heart's content, enjoy the fun of the heavy snow, and make up for the regret that they cannot go to the ski resort due to the epidemic.
