Real Madrid have seen an appeal rejected for change the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Manchester City.
Real Madrid will host the first-leg on Tuesday 9 May at Estadio Santiago Bernabu.
Real Madrid's upset with the decision is due to the Copa del Rey final being played three days earlier, with only 71 hours between kick-off in the two matches.
After losing the Spanish Super Cup to Barcelona in Riyadh, the Copa final against Osasuna represents an opportunity for them to win their first domestic trophy of the season.
As such, Real Madrid are baffled by UEFA's decision to hold their first-leg clash against City on the Tuesday.
