Once again in recent years, Barcelona will insist the stadium of Real Madrid to be the arena in the final of the Cup of Spain. On Thursday, the Catalans defeated Valencia in the semifinals and secured a clash with Seville on April 21. So far, however, there is still no stadium to accept the trophy battle.
According to Spanish Sport, the Spanish Football Federation has sent invitations to representatives of the two clubs for the next Monday to appear in Madrid to allow the three sides to agree where the final will be.
Barca wants the choice to be "Santiago Bernabeu" but, as it has been for the last three seasons, it will most likely be denied because it can be seen as a clear provocation against the "white" who will not be happy to see how their mighty rival celebrates their stadium.
The other suggestion of the Los Cules is the Atletico Madrid stadium - "Wanda Metropolitano". The home of the "mausoleums" appears to be a likely choice because Sevilla is demanding that the match is at a stadium in their city - Ramon Sanchez Sichuan or the Olympic Estadio de la Carthage. It is logical to think that blagranas will not accept the opponent's offer.
Barca has been the winner of the tournament in the last three seasons.
According to the Sport, there is a possibility for the Catalans to insist on even changing the date of the final because only three days later they can play a semi-final in the Champions League.
