The league got their wish for their start date but did have to cede ground by allowing the Copa del Rey final to be played on a date this season without league matches.
Another aspect to this coming league season is that the Christmas holiday period will be extended to give the players more rest. It is established that the last matchday will be played on December 21-22 and the league will not return until the New Year, as per Diario sports
