La Liga leaders Real Madrid's game with Celta Vigo on Sunday has been postponed amid safety fears after the Balaidos stadium roof was damaged by storms, the league's governing body announced on Saturday.

"According to the report issued from the city hall in Vigo, they consider that the Balaidos stadium is not safe for spectators or for players to attend the game on Sunday," said a statement from La Liga.

"La Liga will propose possible dates for the game to be played after listening to the opinions of the clubs and the television broadcasters."

The mayor of Vigo, Abel Caballero, announced earlier on Saturday that the town hall had decided the game could not go ahead in the interest of public safety.

"The storm has damaged a part of the roof in one of the stands and there's no time to fix it for the game," Caballero told Radio Marca.

"The stadium is not in the right condition to hold the game."
