Real Madrid are challenging the organization of the Villarreal-Barcelona match in Florida, believing that it affects the balance of the competition and gives an unjustified advantage.

Real Madrid has issued a statement rejecting the proposal to hold the Villarreal-Barcelona match in Miami, arguing that it alters the competitive balance and violates the principle of reciprocity. The club believes that all participants in the competition must play under the same conditions and that unilateral changes to the schedule could compromise sporting integrity. Real Madrid has announced approaches to FIFA and UEFA to block the match without the agreement of all clubs involved.
