MADRID (Reuters) - La Liga's plans to play one game per season in the United States suffered a further setback on Sunday when Real Madrid president Florentino Perez came out against the proposal, saying it did not benefit clubs or supporters.
La Liga's desire to become the first European soccer league to play regular-season games on a different continent hit a wall on Friday when the Spanish soccer federation said it could not authorize the proposal to stage Girona's match against Barcelona on Jan. 26 in Miami until it received more information.
