The
dates for both El Clasico clashes between Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga
have been changed just days before the new season is due to get underway, AFP
reports.
The
first fixture between the two giants scheduled for the weekend of November 7/8
at the Santiago Bernabeu will now be played two weeks later after an
international break on November 21 or 22.
Similarly
the return at the Camp Nou will be a week later than planned on the weekend of
April 9/10.
The
fixtures have had to be rescheduled due to the early rounds of the Copa del Rey
and Barcelona’s participation in the Club World Cup.
A
round of midweek fixtures planned for October 28 has been cancelled with Luis Enrique’s
men starting their Copa del Rey defence on that date instead.
With
the league season now set to finish a week later than planned on May 22, the
Copa del Rey final has been moved forward to May 7.
The
La Liga season gets underway on August 21.
