Tebas does Barcelona a favor with schedules ahead of playing Dortmund in Champions League

Javier Tebas did a service to Barcelona with the schedules for the 16th day. The competition has announced when the matches will be played and, surprisingly, Barça will play Saturday against Bétis, when Wednesday plays Champions in front of him Borussia Dortmund. A measure that was common before, but which was left aside this year. This season the normal thing is that those who play in the top competition on Tuesday play in the League on Saturday and those who play on Wednesday play in the League on Sunday. Until the conflict of Betis-Barcelona, which will be played on Saturday December 7 at 4:15 p.m.

This preferential treatment would not have been such in another season. Previously, as a rule, Saturdays were reserved for teams Champions, whether they play the following Tuesday or Wednesday in Europe. Something that continues to be done in the rest of the major leagues, to a greater extent, except in Spain, where the four representatives of the maximum competition are beaten, giving them as little rest as possible. Such Barcelona, ​​Atlético, Girona as the real Madrid They took turns between Saturday and Sunday depending on whether they played on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

This will not happen on the 16th day. Barcelona will have two difficult outings in a row in December. The first will be in Villamarín to face the Bétis, while the second will be in Germany, to visit the European vice-champion, Borussia Dortmund. The match against the yellows will take place on Wednesday December 11 at 9:00 p.m.

If the plan established during the season had been followed, the Barca I should have played against him Bétis Sunday, since the real Madrid And Girona They are the ones who are playing in the Champions League on Tuesday. However, the employers’ association, responsible for establishing the match schedule with television operators, decided that Flick’s team would face Betis on Saturday.

In fact, the Athletic – who will play the Champions League on the same day as Barça – will play their League match on Sunday against Sevilla. It will also do so during the last time slot, at 9:00 p.m. Girona And the real Madrid They will face each other in Montilivi on Saturday December 7th and, coincidentally, they will do so a few hours after Flick’s team match.

Tebas will give Barcelona more rest

A measure which represents a clear favor to the Barcelona and that this course was not followed even with Real Madrid, nor with Girona, not even with him Athletic. Until now, it was usual for the Spanish teams that play in Europe on Wednesday to play their championship match on Sunday, claiming that these were the two operators who broadcast the competition.

The only exception was that of Valencia-Real Madrid this was not disputed because of DANA. In fact, even the Madrid derby on matchday eight was played on a Sunday at 9:00 p.m., even though both teams went on to play in the Champions League.

For comparison, the the real Madrid will play the 14th day against Leganes and will do so at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 24. On Wednesday November 27, the Whites will play at Anfield against Liverpool And, before this match in which the Whites will risk a good part of their chances of reaching the round of 16 via the fast route, they will have less rest than what Tebas granted to Barcelona before the match against Dortmund.
