El Clasico sets broadcast first for Spanish Liga

Sunday’s game between Barcelona and Real Madrid became the first Spanish Liga football match broadcast live in aircraft under a deal between the Mediapro agency and Turkish Airlines.

Yesterday’s ‘El Clasico’ resulted in a 2-1 win for Barcelona at the Camp Nou, allowing the Catalan club to open up a four-point lead over its arch rival at the top of La Liga.

The game was broadcast live across 17 Turkish Airlines flights, with Mediapro stating La Liga now joins the English Premier League and German Bundesliga as having received live coverage on board aircraft.
