Barcelona Seeks To Secure Year-end La Liga Lead

By IANS News December 20, 2025 • 19:30 PM View: 93

Hard Rock Stadium: FC Barcelona aim to close out 2025 on a high when Hansi Flick's side travel down the east coast to face Villarreal on Sunday.

The game was originally slated by La Liga to be played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, but that plan collapsed after pushback from the players' union, supporters' groups and Real Madrid, reports Xinhua.

Madrid argued that moving the fixture from Villarreal's Estadio de la Ceramica to a venue where Barcelona would enjoy overwhelming support risked compromising the competition by giving Barca an unfair advantage.
