In October, it was reported that La Liga had attempted to move the match between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, scheduled for December 21, to Miami. This would have been the first match of a European league played in the United States.

However, the project ultimately failed because the necessary approvals were not granted, which left Barcelona's management very disappointed.

Details: According to Relevo, Barcelona was particularly frustrated by the collapse of the project, as it would have been a lucrative opportunity for them to generate revenue. The club is struggling with financial issues, and the funds would have been helpful in their efforts to restore financial balance as quickly as possible.

It is reported that Barcelona could have earned around five million euros if the game had been held in Miami.

Reminder: La Liga has not completely abandoned the idea and still plans to host a top match in the U.S. in the future.

By the way, La Liga's top scorer, Robert Lewandowski, showed how badly his garage was flooded during the storm.
