Players are said to be "outraged" over plans to stage a La Liga game in the USReal Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui has criticised plans to hold a La Liga match in the United States, saying it undermines the competition. On Tuesday Barcelona, Girona and La Liga asked the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) for permission for the clubs to relocate a game to the US. The fixture, Girona's 'home' match, would be held at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on 26 January at 19:45 GMT. The Spanish players' union (AFE) has also opposed the match and following a meeting with La Liga on Monday, it said the players would have the "final say". La Liga, Spain's top flight, has agreed to play one game a season in the US as part of a 15-year deal with media company Relevent.
