Madrid: The King`s Cup final between record winners Barcelona and Real Madrid has been set for Wednesday April 16 at Valencia`s Mestalla stadium, the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF) said on Thursday.
The match, a repeat of the 2011 final at the same venue which Real won 1-0, will take place the week before the two European heavyweights could feature in the first legs of the Champions League semi-finals. The Cup final was originally due to be played on Saturday April 19 but an agreement to play it three days earlier was reached after a meeting in Madrid on Thursday, the RFEF said on its website (www.rfef.es).
