Tebas does not want a postponement to December 18
The day before, the Spanish press assured that the members of the Competition Committee of the Federation tended to postpone the match to Wednesday, Wednesday, or Wednesday, December 18. There would be no question of reversing the order of the two Clasicos of the season, by playing the first leg in Madrid and the return to Barcelona, as this would not be allowed by the rules.
Between the two dates of December, that of Wednesday, December 18th seemed to hold the cord. Problem: King's Cup matches are scheduled during this week, warned Javier Tebas, the president of the Spanish Football League. "It can not be that day," he warned sharply in remarks relayed by AS.
This situation of confusion finds its source in the condemnation on Monday of nine independentist leaders to heavy prison terms for their role in the secession attempt of 2017. In the wake, the city of Barcelona experienced three nights of urban violence between hundreds of independence activists and law enforcement. However, the press reports that parties and associations are planning to convene a major demonstration on 26 October.
