And the Final of the Copa del Rey will be played... at the Camp Nou.*

And the Final of the Copa del Rey will be played... at the Camp Nou.*

Because Madrid are huge asshurt gots and they wouldn't let the Basques or especially the Catalans celebrate a Copa victory at the Santiago Bernabeu. Both Bilbao and Barcelona wrote a letter requesting / demanding Madrid that they be allowed to play the CdR final at the Bernabeu, but to no avail.

Other pitches in consideration were the Camp Nou, Mestalla, San Mames and the Pizjuan... Camp Nou won in the voting.

Ticket sales will be 50/50 so I wouldn't say Bilbao will get shafted...

Apparently Barca will have to use the away dressing room, so weird

I heard they just did not want the Spanish anthem to be heavily booed in Madrid by Basques and Catalans fans

but Missi can't play without Xavi or Iniesta?

0 goal and 0 assists sounds horrible when you're supposed to be the Barca midfield leader but Iniesta's never been a stat machine and never will --> in 13 la Liga campaigns, he had an average of only 2,5 goals and 6 assists per season (total of 33 goals and 79 assists in 356 games)

When you have a healthy Messi on your team, i would say that goals and assists are kind of biased

Pirlo and maybe Scholes over Iniesta

Not sure about Scholes and Pirlo although Pirlo is the most beautifull player to watch since Zidane

Plus he's playing sort of an attacking midfielder role now

We get that your thing is to post on topics you have no clue about but give it a break from time to time

Catalans and Basques had separatist tendencies long before Franco

I knew that, but thanks anyway grandpa

And since you are clueless as usual, they still hate Madrid because of Franco

So you knew it but still enjoy posting inaccurate information. You are so Fox News

And no, they do not still hate Madrid because of Franco. Spain history did not start 75 years ago. Well, I guess it's already something that you heard of Franco

Show me

those separatists tbh, what a bunch of asshurts gots ---> Catalans and Basques are considered separatists

Somebody tell them Franco died a long time ago --> no reason for that, Franco died a long time ago

You're gonna find a way to deny it but anyway: you're welcome
