It does some weeks, the spokesman of the FC Barcelona, Josep Live, spoke long and tended on the problematic of the schedule of the final of the Glass of the King of this 22 May, in Vicente Calderón, between FC Barcelona and Seville FC. Both teams coincided in that the schedule imposed by "Mediaset", company that had the television rights of the event, was not favourable for the fans, and asked to the Real Spanish Federation of Football that mediated in this.

However, and as it informed the own Live, there was not finally any approach by part of the RFEF neither with Barça and Seville neither with "Mediaset" to treat to arrive to some type of agreement. Everything after the meeting that kept the Managerial Board of the Catalan team, and after which Josep Live informed that it was "very disappointed with the attitude of the RFEF".

We want to enter us in this market and have a lot of competition in the Premier League and the Bundesliga. This, without forgetting the profit that would be for the fans that displace to see the final in direct", confirmed.
