Mestalla Will receive his fourth final of Glass Barça-Madrid

The stadium of Mestalla was inaugurated in 1923. The one of this Wednesday will be the tenth final of the Glass of the King that play in this field. The one of this year will be the fourth starred by Barça and Madrid, with up to now two victories for the whites (1936 and 2011) and one for the Barcelona (1990). The Barcelonan club has contested three ends more in this stadium in front of other rivals (Athletic in 1926, Mallorca in 1998 and Athletic Club in 2009), winning to the three.

Besides, the final of this Wednesday between the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid will be the second that contests in the field of Valencia after this already had to be enclosed. In 2009, the Spanish Federation of Football decided that the final of Glass between the Barça and the Athletic Club of Bilbao played in the field of Valencia like a homage to the installation. The works of the new stadium valencianista already were under way and the definite closing of Mestalla seemed near. Since, it has received the final of Glass of 2011 and now the one of this year.

Five years afterwards, the grave economic situation of the Valencian club keeps stopped the works of construction of a field that does not know if it will inaugurate some day. The project was set up by the ex president Juan Bautista Soler, that left the club endeudado to his course in 2008. Soler is accused from the past 9 April of an attempt of kidnapping on Vicente Soriano, an ex leader of Valencia. Soriano Bought his actions of the club of the ex in 2008 by 85 million euros in a speculative operation that no fructificó (and that still would not have finished to clear).
