Sevilla FC wish to publicly express their absolute disconformity with the hour chosen by La Liga for the last league match of the season. Javier Tebas has already been notified of the discontent by Sevilla FC's president, José Castro.

The club understand that there are reasons relating to televising matches internationally to put matches in this hour slot and that there are reasons to put teams competing for the European spots at the same time; however, the club feel that it has not been taken into account that in Seville, at 16:15, the temperature will be much higher than in Getafe, Barcelona and Valladolid, resulting in discomfort for Sevilla FC, Athletic Bilbao and the fans watching from the stands.

It was possible to have put the matches concerning the European spots at a later time when the temperature would not have been a problem; therefore, the club regrets that this, at least for the moment, has not been taken into account and trusts that La Liga will rectify the timetable for the good of the professionals and all fans attending the match.
