During a meeting held at the Spanish football federation RFEF's headquarters on Monday, representatives of the two clubs also agreed on April 21 as the date for the title match at Atletico's newly-built stadium, reports Efe.
"I am satisfied. It is good when the clubs meet, review the possible options and a decision is taken. We reviewed it and we think that this is the best stadium and the best date," Sevilla's president Pepe Castro told the press.
