The cancellation of LaLiga's plan to hold a Barcelona match in Miami in December is a "missed opportunity" for Spanish football, the league's president said on Wednesday, while elsewhere its collapse was celebrated.
Champions Barca were set to face Villarreal in the United States on 20 December, which would have been the first European league fixture to be played abroad.
The match will now be held at Villarreal's Estadio de la Ceramica home as normal.
LaLiga said their promoter for the match decided to cancel the organisation of the event because of "uncertainty generated in Spain in recent weeks".
The league's president Javier Tebas took to X to express regret at not being able to seize "this historic opportunity", adding that Spanish football had missed a chance to "develop, to project itself in the world and reinforce its future".
