Tebas is refusing to back down from his vision of global expansion, even after a high-profile attempt to move a fixture to Miami was thwarted late last year. The league had previously targeted a clash between Barcelona and Villarreal to be held at the Miami Dolphins' Hard Rock Stadium on December 20. Had it gone ahead, it would have marked a historic first for major European football, but the plans were ultimately scrapped in October following mounting pressure from fans, players and concerns over the sporting integrity of the competition. Addressing the criticism that moving a home game thousands of miles away undermines the fairness of the league, Tebas was dismissive of the impact such a move would have on the overall season.
