As outlined by La Liga, the televised event last weekend was broadcast in 182 countries enjoyed the charity festival across more than 100 platforms.

The funds raised from the event will be directed towards health services with specific recommendations based on government guidance.

All the participants in the festival participated from their respective homes, due to Spain being in the midst of back-to-back state of emergencies in the nation which will last a minimum of 30 days in total.

Spain is now behind only Italy on the global scale for the most deaths due to the virus, with the nation now 18 days into a 30-day state of lockdown.
