La Real will not know until next week the identity of their first league rival. The contender to be measured at the premiere of the championship will be revealed later than ever, as a result of the endless wars between the Professional Football League and the Federation, which not even the Higher Sports Council is able to appease. Despite the fact that the football employers threatened to skip to the bullfighter the undoubted weight that the Federation has in the tournament, raffling the calendar today, finally there was no draw. On Monday or Tuesday, at the latest, the order and the rivals of the 38 league matches will be established.
The endless pulse between the two highest football organizations will cause such a special day as the one that decides against who and when to play, to be included with shoehorn, as a must as the start of the competition is on top. A draw that was usually held in July, more than a month before the start of the league, will now arrive with just over ten days to spare.
April 4, the date of the final
On how the League days are established will depend, in some way, on what date is definitively established final of Cup
2020 what should they play Real and Athletic. At this point, it seems practically final to be played on April 4, shortly before the final of 2021.
Throughout this process, various hypotheses have been considered, such as playing the December 27 or January 6 and the first one, playing at Christmas, was very popular in the Federation. The problem with scheduling the derby at the end of the year is that, from the current perspective, it would be impossible for it to be played with the public, something to which all parties committed themselves, assuming they wait for as long as necessary.
Place the final April 4 offers eight more months of margin. Autumn and winter – times that are most feared from the point of view of how covid-19 can affect it – will have passed and it is even possible that there will be a vaccine against the virus. The game, yes, will be played on Easter Sunday with all that that means in Seville.
