FC Barcelona game at Sevilla, Villarreal vs. Alaves postponed
Spain’s High Council for Sports has postponed FC Barcelona’s game at Sevilla and Villarreal versus Alaves on Saturday following an appeal by the Spanish football league, LaLiga.
The league had asked the Spanish FA to postpone the matches given the extended South American World Cup qualifying window put by FIFA to compensate for COVID-19 postponements in 2021.
This meant several players would not return to their clubs until Friday, 24 hours before they were due to play in LaLiga matches.
Since Barcelona and Villarreal are in Champions League action on Tuesday, they were to play their domestic fixtures on Saturday.
However, the RFEF rejected LaLiga’s request, meaning the league was forced to appeal to the CSD to get the two games postponed, with the governmental agency accepting the arguments and ruling in its favour.
