🇪🇸 Drama in La Liga over the league’s plan to take Villarreal vs Barcelona to Miami.
Before tonight’s Oviedo vs Espanyol match, both teams stood still for 20 seconds after kickoff in protest. Players across Spain are doing the same this weekend to show their anger at what they call La Liga’s “lack of transparency, dialogue and coherence” over the move.
But fans at home never saw it. The live feed cut away to shots of the stadium for several seconds, then to the two managers. By the time the scoreboard returned, 26 seconds had passed and play had already resumed.
