Real Madrid has criticized Barcelona's decision to hold a La Liga match in the United States.
It is reported that the Catalan club intends to hold the match against Villarreal in Miami, in the 17th round of the Spanish championship. Both clubs have already received the necessary permits and hope to receive significant financial benefits from the match outside Spain.
However, Real Madrid has reacted negatively to this initiative. The club believes that the decision violates the principles of fair competition in La Liga and creates unequal conditions for other participants in the tournament.
Real Madrid would like to inform its fans that it rejects the proposal to hold the championship match between Villarreal and Barcelona outside Spain.
"This decision violates the fundamental principle of territorial reciprocity in the competition (one match at home and one at the opponent's stadium), disrupting the competitive balance and providing an unnecessary sporting advantage. The integrity of the tournament requires that all matches be played under equal conditions.
A unilateral change to this regime violates equality between competitors, calls into question the legitimacy of the results, and sets an unacceptable precedent that undermines sporting integrity and creates a risk of tournament rigging," the statement released by the "creamy" reads.
