Following the news that Barcelona and Villarreal will play their match in Miami, the clubs’ captains have agreed to protest against this decision.

The protest was organized by the AFE, the Spanish players’ union, which proposed not playing for the first 30 seconds of each match to “assert the lack of transparency, dialogue, and consistency”. According to the association, the decision was made without consulting the players, completely disregarding their protection.

For this reason, all eyes were on the Carlos Tartiere stadium. However, the official La Liga broadcast chose to show only an external shot of the stadium, thus avoiding airing the protest.

Outrage erupted on social media: many accuse La Liga of censoring the professionals’ freedom of expression.
