Spain's professional league (LFP) has reiterated a threat to postpone a round of matches next month over a dispute with the government about a rule that one La Liga game per matchday be shown on free TV.

Talks between league officials, the government and parliamentary groups had failed to produce any progress, the LFP, which represents first and second division clubs, said in a statement.
"Therefore, the LFP stands by the decision... to postpone the matchday which corresponds to April 3, until there are concrete developments in the dialogue with the administration," the statement said.
The LFP, which has the backing of the Spanish football federation (RFEF), wants to scrap the free match rule to help strengthen clubs' bargaining powers in negotiations on audiovisual rights with TV companies.
They also want guarantees about how much cash they are entitled to receive from betting and lottery revenue.
On the weekend under threat, April 2/3, La Liga leaders Barcelona are due to play at Villarreal, while second-placed Real Madrid host Sporting Gijon.

I agree is not a good idea. But they´re really decided to not play next week if the don't get an agreement about the television rights for the game they should give every week on open TV.
