Real Madrid Opposes the Holding of the Match Between Barcelona in Miami

  • Real Madrid is opposing the holding of the match in the USA.
  • Villarreal is offering complimentary tickets for fans.
  • Clubs must agree to change the venue of the match.

Real Madrid is opposing the holding of the La Liga match between Villarreal and Barcelona in Miami, scheduled for December 20. The club asserts that such a move undermines the integrity of the competition and the legitimacy of the results.

At the same time, Villarreal is offering complimentary tickets and travel for their fans, should the match be confirmed, which would become the first instance of such a situation in the league's history. The club believes this could help expand their brand in the USA.

Real Madrid has appealed to FIFA, UEFA, and the Spanish sports authority with a request not to allow the holding of this match. The club emphasized that changes must be reflected in the agreements of all teams participating in the competition.

Real Madrid also noted that holding matches outside the country undermines the connections between the fans and their teams, which is critically important for supporting football.

This incident has sparked outrage among fans and footballers in Spain, who believe that moving matches harms tradition.
