It's a really popular final in Spain because of the night it's shown on

And because like our final, it's on as the season is closing, and many teams fate has already been decided

Regardless of the top teams not winning, I think makes it more enjoyable for the neutral to want to watch the final

It's put on at 9pm on a wednesday (I'm guessing 10pm in Spain), cos it's cooler, and a lot of people are out in bars watching

It's a bit of a social event, as well as a comp other teams see themselves having a chance of winning

If anything, Real and Barca not winning it, probably makes it a better competition overall

I'd love to be in spain weds soaking it up

Come on Bilbao!

        sorry just realised both didn't get to final (Other Football) - SCC 28, May 11, 00:31:48
        
        Reasoning with you is futile, you're not on here to talk about anything (Other Football) - pants, May 11, 00:41:31
        
        well i only said the spanish don't take it seriously (Other Football) - SCC 28, May 11, 00:48:08
- Viewing figures (Other Football) - Yellalee, May 11, 00:03:58
  - Would have made more sense to show both, then when mafia are 2 up at half time (Other Football) - pants, May 11, 00:08:03
    - Doesn't matter - Prem game with Utd in it = 500k viewers. Spanishers = 60k (Other Football) - Yellalee, May 11, 00:17:32
      - I don't as much anymore, cos it's just a pantomime now (Other Football) - pants, May 11, 00:23:39

        Yeah, I'm a bit more relaxed about it now, that spurs game, as soon as they went 2 up (Other Football) - pants, May 11, 00:29:13
        
        Utd were all over them from the start of the 2nd half though. No way (Other Football) - Yellalee, May 11, 00:36:13
        
        Fair do's, I stopped watching cos I've seen it all before (Other Football) - pants, May 11, 00:46:37
        
        Yeah, I dont know enough about it to disagree - same old clubs still always win it though, (Other Football) - Yellalee, May 11, 00:52:45

        they still had to score 2 more goals tho (Other Football) - SCC 28, May 11, 00:30:29
      - 60K is pushing it a bit imo (n/m) (Other Football) - SCC 28, May 11, 00:23:22
        
        That's what it got last week - Real - Barca... (n/m) (Other Football) - Yellalee, May 11, 00:24:41

        I'd be fine with them not showing it if they stopped showing the early rounds (Other Football) - pants, May 11, 00:26:25
        
        Yep, that is a good point. But in reality it is purely the clash with the other game (Other Football) - Yellalee, May 11, 00:28:52
        
        It sucked that there was nothing else stopping it last year, sky just didn't have it on (Other Football) - pants, May 11, 00:30:42
