La Liga has canceled its plan to hold the Villarreal versus Barcelona match in Miami on December 20, citing "uncertainty" within Spain regarding the fixture. This marks a setback for La Liga's efforts to stage a regular season game abroad, a move that faced significant opposition.

• The match between Champions Barcelona and Villarreal was set to be the first European league fixture played abroad.
• The decision to cancel was made by the match's promoter due to "uncertainty generated in Spain in recent weeks."
• The plan was criticized by various parties, including the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE), Real Madrid, and Villarreal coach Marcelino Garcia Toral, who called the announcement "an absolute lack of respect."
