Real Madrid slams proposed US-based La Liga fixture, saying it sets 'an unacceptable precedent'

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

Villarreal, in contrast, is promising free travel and tickets for season-ticket holders if its match against Barcelona in Miami is approved, in what would be a first for the league. The 17th-round match in La Liga would be played at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Madrid said Tuesday it has taken action to keep the Dec 20 match from happening, claiming it would hurt the "integrity of the competition" and the "legitimacy of the results".
