Barcelona’s appeal for rescheduling of Valladolid game turned down by La

Earlier in the week, Barcelona got into another argument with La Liga over its scheduling heading into the second leg of the Champions League semifinals versus Inter Milan.

Barcelona are slated to deal with Inter Milan in the second leg on Might 6, which is why their league game against Genuine Valladolid, initially scheduled for May 4, was held off to May 3.

Nevertheless, Barça weren’t too pleased with the timing as the game was arranged at 9 pm on May 3, thus providing the Catalan stars very little time for sleep and recovery.

Even coach Hansi Flick flagged this bad scheduling in La Liga, with Barcelona eventually appealing for a rescheduling.

The governing body claims that any change would negatively impact other groups and broadcasting dedications, and as such, they hesitate to accommodate Barça’s issues.

This decision makes certain to include more tension between the club and La Liga entering into the final phase of the project.

Barcelona’s clash against Inter Milan, after all, is being viewed as a historical opportunity for the club to return to the Champions League final after numerous years.

With the tie delicately poised, Flick and his personnel are eager to ensure optimum preparation and rest.

But a late evening encounter suggests Barcelona players won’t have time for an appropriate sleep and healing, considering the fact that they will have to travel to Milan the next morning.

This is not the first time Barça have been treated unjustly by La Liga when it pertains to scheduling this season, and is something the club merely have to contend with.
