The Single Judge of Professional Competitions of the Federation has set the date on which the postponed Barça-Osasuna will be played. It will be when it is least convenient for Barça.
The date set for the Barça-Osasuna match is March 27. That day is a FIFA date on the international team calendar. The South American teams will play on March 25 and 26.
Therefore, Hansi Flick will not be able to count on either Raphinha, the next Ballon d'Or, or Araújo. Both will have matches with Brazil and Uruguay respectively.
Brazil plays against Argentina and Uruguay against Bolivia on those dates.
Competition Rigged
That is, the Federation's decision will influence Barça's line-up, which will be weakened. Flick will not be able to count on two of his key players. Meanwhile, in Madrid, they will continue to say that the Madridist president of the Federation helps Barça.
The decision has hit Barça like a bullet. At Camp Nou, they are increasingly convinced that this competition is rigged. The Federation will do everything in its power to ensure that the champion is Real Madrid, the team of everyone.
Will Ancelotti come out to complain because the Federation's decision harms Barça? Will Real Madrid TV, the channel from which Florentino sends his encrypted messages, say anything?
This is a scandal of massive proportions that reveals that there is no equal treatment for everyone by the Federation. Didn't they already know how to influence Barça's line-ups?
The Alternative Solution: Eliminate Barça from the Cup
There is an alternative solution: for Barça to be eliminated from the Cup so that Barça-Osasuna could be played on April 27. Will the Federation do anything to solve the problem by leaving Barça KO in the Copa del Rey?
Everything is possible. The truth is that sociological Madridism acts like a hammer hitting Barça's interests. It seems that it bothers them that Barça is at the top looking at the others in the rearview mirror.
Barça is studying the steps to take after hearing the news. One of the options is to refuse to play the match, although Hansi Flick is not in favor of making such a drastic decision.
