The giant screen being installed in the Placa de la Reina on Saturday 6 will disrupt traffic and bus routes but also provide an entertaining evening.

The celebration is expected to attract a large crowd and further closures may be necessary.

The pre-match warm-up at Plaça de la Reina will feature Los 40 Mallorca and Cadena Ser radio stations, which promises a lively show to keep the crowd in a party mood. The entertainment kick-off is at 6 pm, the football at 10 pm.
