For a few days now, the idea of a clash in Miami between FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid as part of the 18th day of La Liga has been gaining ground. If one might have believed at first that this would be immediately refused by Barça, forced to play a match supposed to be played at home far away from its bases, that would not be the case. Quite the contrary, according to the information from As, with Joan Laporta who could find it interesting with millions.
A Barça-Atlético in the USA, Laporta signs directly!
Indeed, the Madrid media reveals that La Liga has already obtained approval from the championship leader for this initiative. The reasons? First of all, the United States is a country where the market is very profitable for the Blaugranas (Nike, Aramark) in addition to being the future hosts of the next World Cup. Secondly, the culé club has had the habit in recent years of crossing the Atlantic for the pre-season and a championship match against Atlético could “open new commercial avenues”. Thirdly, for Laporta this is seen as a way of “enhancing the image of Barça” in the USA with a mass arrival of supporters thanks to several chartered planes. Suffice it to say that the Catalan boss is more than in favor of such a decision.
