Thursday briefing: Villarreal slam LaLiga’s “poor management” after decision to cancel Miami game

Villarreal have blasted LaLiga for its “poor management”, after cancelling plans to hold the club’s December fixture against Barcelona in Miami.

On Tuesday, Spain’s top flight announced that the game would not be staged in the US, following significant backlash from players and fans, with Real Madrid also submitting a formal complaint to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The match will now be held at Villarreal’s Estadio de la Ceramica home on 20th December.
