Great News

Wow.... Bit shocking really, thought it would be a neural venue.

This strikes me as hugely unfair.

So the Bernabeu turned down hosting the final, whatever. They couldn't have it at Mestalla, Sanchez Pizjuan, Vicente Calderon, etc?

Unfair how? Athletic's president wanted Camp Nou too. The tickets are 40% for each teams, and 20% to rfef.

Athletic Bilbao themselves voted in favour of having it at Camp Nou. Tickets will be shared equally among both of the teams.

Athletic agreed to it. So I don't see what the issue is.

Doesn't sound fair. Capital is doing their best to get themselves out of trouble (anthem) and create a feud between Basques and Catalans.

A feud how? Athletic's president wanted camp nou too, so they get more revenue. I don't think there will be any problems.

Think rationally. Would FC Barcelona allow the final to be played if Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao were in the final? That would've never happened.

 

[Blaugrana Man]

I didn't realize that Athletic Club voted for a final at the Camp Nou. Fair play to all then.

Why would athletic agree to it? Is the revenue that big from making it hosted in camp nou where it completely overshadows other aspects?

21.315 vs 39.200.

More seats for their fans.

Which other aspects? And yes, Camp Nou is the biggest stadium in europe.
