There will be war for 'El Clasico': "The 18th December cannot be, there is a Cup"

"It's these sort of things that get out, I do not believe that the Federation will say any date, because it is the Competition Committee who will have to put a date on the table because there's a different procedure. Now, us, La Liga, we are starting the procedure of altering the calendar," Tebas explained to 'EFE' in a London hotel.

"If the matches are not changed, a date will have to be set and it's a different procedure. They are talking about the 18th December when the Copa del Rey is on this day. I believe that if the Copa del Rey has been deserted, they will prioritise 'El Clasico', I think it will be super deserted. It cannot be on that day, it will be necessary to sit down and establish what date. I hope that the Committee decides that the order can be changed," added Tebas.

The 18th December has been mentioned as a possible date for the game after Real Madrid and Barcelona showed no willingness to change the order of matches in their calendars.
