MADRID: The cancelation of La Liga’s plan to hold a Barcelona match in Miami in December is a “missed opportunity” for Spanish football, the league’s president said Wednesday, while elsewhere its collapse was celebrated. Champions Barca were set to face Villarreal in the United States on December 20, which would have been the first European league fixture to be played abroad. The match will now be held at Villarreal’s Estadio de la Ceramica home as normal.
