Copa del Rey final could be cancelled in wake of strike action

 

Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague says there is talk in Spain that the Copa del Rey final could be cancelled because of proposed strike action from the country's players.

The Spanish football federation (RFEF) and players' union (AFE) will fight "to the end", says Balague, with a long list of demands against government and league (LFP) plans to change the distribution of TV rights money.

Week 37 and 38 - the two final rounds of fixtures - in the Spanish leagues are set to be suspended, as well as the cup final between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao on May 30.
