Real Madrid issued a statement on Tuesday opposing La Liga's plans to move Barcelona's match at Villarreal to the U.S. in December, arguing the decision would compromise the competitive integrity of Spain's top flight.

On Monday, the RFEF approved La Liga’s request for the match to be played at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium in December.

Real Madrid “firmly rejects” having a regular-season Spanish league game played in the United States and has warned of “a turning point in the world of football.”
