The bizarre scenarios thrown up by Covid....
Such has been the determination to complete each of the last two season’s Copa del Rey competitions and the need to cram them in somewhere in the hectic Spanish season, a scenario now exists where Athletic Bilbao must play two Copa finals within two weeks of each other.
Last season (2019/20) they reached the final where they were due to face Real Sociedad in a Basque Classico in Seville, before coronavirus halted the competition.
That 2020 final will now take place on April 3, Seville again the venue.
And last night, Bilbao defeated Levante 2-1 in this season’s semi-final.
