Legendary stadium goes into history

Last Monday Spanish FA has confirmed that Copa del Rey final between, current champions Barcelona and Alaves is going to be played on 27 May in Vicente Calderon stadium in Madrid. After the game this venue will be completely torn down. This means that the final will be the last match played at the estadio Vicente Calderon (unless if owner, Atletico Madrid has to play European qualifier in August). Under the Manzanares river, on the reconstruction area will build up lots of shops and business center. The club after the summer plans to move to bigger facility called Wanda Metropolitano which is still under construction.
Madrid's red and white footballers played in Vicente Calderon from October 1966 which is planned to be demolished in 2018.
