On the eve of this confrontation, the Catalan team had problems with the choice of stadium, since the main arena “Camp Nou” is under reconstruction. For this reason, Spain’s champions decided to play Estadi Johan Cruyff, which contains six thousand fans.
Some La League clubs remained dissatisfied because of the act of “Blauhranas” because they believe that the team has grossly violated the championship regulation. According to the rules, the clubs of the elite division are obliged to play in arena with a capacity of at least 15 thousand people.
La League representatives have already turned to Barcelona and reported that they would demand the technical defeat of the Catalans if the Hans Diter Flik’s wards would be released into the field of six thousandth arena.
Currently, neither Barcelona nor Valencia has commented on this scandal. After three rounds, “Blaugranas” scored seven points and ranked fourth in the standings, and their future opponent was placed in ninth positions (four points).
