No rest in La Liga ahead of 33rd round of matches

Madrid, Apr 21 (UNI) Teams in Spain have no time to draw breath as La Liga moves directly the 33rd round of matches this week to allow for next weekend's Copa del Rey final between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid to be a stand-alone fixture.
League leader, FC Barcelona plays on Tuesday night at home to seventh place Mallorca, with the chance to again pile the pressure on a Real Madrid side that plays away to Getafe on Wednesday night.
The timing of the two matches has again caused controversy, with Barcelona getting 24 hours more to prepare for the Cup final, although it's probably a toss-up to decide whether Flick would rather his players had 24 hours extra rest ahead of Tuesday or Saturday.
