La Liga president laments promoters’ decision to cancel
Tebas criticises Real Madrid and players’ union
Javier Tebas vowed that La Liga would try again after its plans to take a game abroad fell through when promotors announced they were cancelling Villarreal’s meeting with Barcelona in Miami on 20 December.
The league had been informed of the decision on Tuesday, with an announcement made at half-time of Villarreal’s Champions League game against Manchester City at the Estadio de la Cerámica, where they will face Barcelona, instead of at the Hard Rock Stadium. The timing of the announcement was described as “a complete lack of respect” by the Villarreal coach, Marcelino García Toral.
