The decision that caused a stir in La Liga

Villarreal are angry at La Liga's decision to cancel their match against Barcelona in Miami, USA on December 20.

Villarreal are unhappy that their match against Barcelona in the US was cancelled.

La Liga explained the cancellation as organizer Relevent's concern over the short lead time and the uncertain situation in Spain. Barcelona accepted the decision, but Villarreal publicly criticized the logistical and organizational failures that led to the abrupt cancellation.

Villarreal said: "The club is deeply disappointed with La Liga for the poor management. We repeatedly asked for confirmation of match times and hired a travel agency for this large-scale trip, but received no satisfactory answer." They also stressed that the cancellation announcement came in the middle of the Champions League match against Man City, leaving the club and fans stunned.

Coach Marcelino Garcia Toral was upset: "Making an announcement at halftime of our match was completely disrespectful. This is a lack of respect for the management, the club, the players and the fans."

Villarreal also pointed out that the prize money from the match was used to compensate shareholders for the season, not for the club to receive direct benefits. However, the match faced strong reactions from many sides.

Football Supporters Europe said: "Common sense and football rules have prevailed. Such ill-considered projects are doomed to failure and must be stopped."

Following this decision, Villarreal will host Barcelona at home on December 21, instead of travelling to the US.
