As many want, It seems that Copa del Rey It will be played as a single match at home weakest team. Thus lesser teams get to have more chances of overcoming rounds and the number of games for the teams playing European competition is reduced.
So much Rubiales as Javier Tebas They have reached an agreement (at last) this new format Copa del Rey a single party will be only until the semifinals and will to Return. Of course it is much more fair and exciting format that existed until now greatly reduced surprises.
NO FOOTBALL MONDAYS

Given that setting timetables is a competition of the League, while the days are what the RFEF, he asked the competent body to resolve the matter after receiving allegations League.
Judge Mercantile, Andrés Sánchez Magro It took a Solomonic decision as. League matches will be played on Friday but not on Monday (something that we celebrate football fans). This resolution was received very differently by the leading representatives of Spanish football. On the one hand, Rubiales considered a success and good news for the ordinary fan. For another, Tebas said that revenue for clubs come down significantly: “In England, which it is the example to follow as many, Manchester United plays on Mondays and absolutely nothing happens”.
