Barca’s first US Liga match bid
SPANISH giants Barcelona have made moves to play the first-ever La Liga game in the United States.
Barca and Girona have requested permission from the Spanish league to play the fixture at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on January 27.
La Liga issued a statement on the move weeks after it was announced that Spain intends to play regular fixtures overseas this season. Girona could earn £4million for the game.
It comes despite a major backlash, with fans and players voicing concern.
