Yes, they had a "motive". When it's not renovations of the stadium, it's a concert. Refusing just for rivalry is petty, and it wouldn't look good. It's not just because of that, anyway. Floper is still mad at the stunt gaspart played, and probably fears it could be done again. Barça played many finals in chamartin and in the bernaleo, before the 97 incident. And rm also played finals in the camp nou.
What was the motive last year? They just seemed to flat out refuse and it doesnt hinge on any excuses.
They can refuse if they want and lets not pretend all powerful Real need to come up with excuses not to have final played there.
