Real Madrid have slammed plans to play December's LaLiga game between Villarreal and Barcelona in the United States.

Real Madrid have issued a statement to express the club’s desire to see plans to play Villarreal vs Barcelona in Miami to be rejected. The RFEF has forwarded a request for the game to be played in the United States to UEFA and FIFA for a final approval, but Real Madrid are not happy with the plan and want it binned.

Villarreal and Barcelona look set to hold a La Liga match outside of Europe for the first time in history. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed they received a request, from both club's, for Villarreal’s La Liga meeting with Barcelona, scheduled for December, to change venue to Miami at The Hard Rock Stadium.
