"Sevilla" continues its war with the Spanish Football Federation - this time the Andalusian club was shocked again after learning that the federation decided to make a favorable decision for the "Barcelona" team just a day before the Super Cup match.
The Spanish Football Federation announced a day before the Super Cup match that there will be no restrictions on the number of non-EU players in this tournament. In Spain, teams cannot have more than three players without EU citizenship, and "Barcelona" has four such players in their ranks.
"Sevilla" is very surprised that the federation made such a decision just 24 hours before the match," the Andalusians wrote yesterday.
The club believes that this is an unfair decision that could help strengthen the "Barcelona" team," - added in an official statement.
However, as the country's largest newspapers reported, the "Barcelona" team will manage to get out of this situation because at the last minute Philippe Coutinho was given Portuguese citizenship. "Barca" still has three more players without EU citizenship - Arthur, Malcom, and Arturo Vidal.
The fight for the Spanish Super Cup trophy will take place today in Morocco at 23:00 LT time.
