The Madrid Metro has been forced to close a section of Line 7 due to the accumulation of water in the facilities. Specifically, the affected area is the one between Cartagena and the Metropolitan Stadium, as reported by the service itself on social networks. The outage occurred shortly before 6:30 p.m., as a result of the heavy downpours that hit the city on Thursday afternoon. The outage initially reached García Noblejas, but was later extended to five other stations.
The interruption of the service complicates the arrival of the fans at the Metropolitan Stadium, where Atlético de Madrid starts tonight in the Champions League. The match takes place from 21:00.
