Sevilla have hit out at the RFEF’s decision to change the Spanish Super Cup to a one-off match and reckon it’s been done to help Barcelona.
Barcelona have announced that the match will be played on 12 August at a neutral venue, with many reports suggesting it could take place in Tangier, Morocco.
Sevilla are not having any of it though and have issued an official statement listing their complaints. It’s quite a lengthy statement but here’s what they’re not happy about:
“Sevilla FC would like to publicly express its absolute disagreement with the decision made, which has not taken the normal format of the competition to this date into account (that being a two-legged fixture); moreover, a decision that is exceptional, with the RFEF intending to continue organising the competition with two-legs in future seasons.
