Dani Carvajal, the captain of Real Madrid, believes that the regularity of the Spanish football championship was violated because the organizer of La Liga allowed Villarreal and Barcelona to play in the American city of Miami.
That is clear violation of competition rules. All teams will not compete under the same conditionsthe 33-year-old defenseman told RTVE public television.
It is in the Spanish championship 20 cubes who should play with the same opponents one match at home and one at theirs. La Liga reported earlier this month that Villarreal will host Barcelona instead of at home on December 20 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which neutral ground for both teams.
Carvajal, who took over the Real Madrid captain’s armband from Luka Modrić this summer, said that players, clubs and La Liga are publicly advocating for fairer competitionbut that La Liga does not adhere to it.
This match is a historic step that raises La Liga and Spanish football to a whole new levelsaid Javier Tebas, president of La Liga.
We understand and respect the concern this decision may cause, but it’s important to put it in context: this is one game out of 380 in a season. La Liga has millions of fans around the world, including many who follow their teams passionately and deserve the chance to see them live at least once.he added.
Real first against Juventus and then against Barca
Villarreal’s president Fernando Roig decided to do so in order for the club to “grow and strengthen its presence in the American market”, and Barcelona’s head Joan Laporta noted that the USA is “one of the strategic markets” of the Catalan club.
On Sunday, the biggest Spanish derby will be played between the leading Real Madrid and the second-placed Barcelona.
We want to win three points. It will be a special game because we are playing with the biggest rivalpointed out Carvajal.
Before that, Real Madrid will host Italian Juventus, led by Croatian coach Igor Tudor, in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Our goal is to be among the eight best placed in the Champions League because it gives an advantage later in the condensed schedule of matchessaid Carvajal. The player with 52 appearances for the Spanish national team said that it is good that there is currently no one team dominating European football.
