💥Villarreal erupt as club admits deep discontent with La Liga | OneFootball

Villarreal CF issued a harsh official statement expressing their "deep dissatisfaction with LaLiga for the poor management" in the failed organization of the match on matchday 17 against FC Barcelona in Miami. The club regretted that the match, an initiative by LaLiga to expand the competition, has been canceled.

The Yellow Submarine recalled that they agreed to participate under two non-negotiable conditions: that the money from LaLiga be used to compensate their season ticket holders (with free trips or refunds) and that none of the clubs would obtain direct economic benefit.

The club led by Fernando Roig criticized the lack of progress and planning by LaLiga, to whom they had conveyed their "utmost concern" for not defining such basic aspects as the schedule and the hiring of the travel agency. LaLiga canceled the match by phone, citing the promoter company, and to Villarreal's surprise, issued a unilateral statement.

Villarreal described LaLiga's action as a "total and absolute lack of respect" for announcing it during their Champions League match. Despite the failure, the club maintains that the international project is a good opportunity for the growth of the competition.
