Real Madrid positively evaluated La Liga’s decision to cancel the 17th-round match between Villarreal and Barcelona in the United States, which was scheduled for December 20. This was reported by COPE.
According to the source, los Blancos believe that holding such a match abroad could have set an important precedent in the league.
Real Madrid also think that the protests by La Liga players and attempts by La Liga to conceal them played a key role in the organizers’ decision to cancel the Villarreal vs. Barcelona match in Miami.
It is worth recalling that during the 9th round of La Liga, teams refused to play for several seconds after the opening whistle to protest holding the mentioned match abroad. However, the broadcast of the Oviedo vs. Espanyol game did not show this protest.
