«Breaking News» Girona accept offer to play Barcelona in controversial US La Liga game

Girona claim to have received and accepted a proposal to face Barcelona in a controversial La Liga game in the United States.

Announcing the news, the club said they were 'working with the league and Barcelona' but there was 'no official confirmation that the game will be played in Miami'.

The club's statement comes in the wake of La Liga players expressing their 'outrage' at plans to stage a top-flight match in America.

Girona have accepted a proposal to face Barcelona in a controversial La Liga game in the US

Last month, the Spanish players' union (AFE) held a meeting with a host of top stars, including Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos and Barcelona's Sergio Busquets, and afterwards said it was unanimously against a proposal to place games outside of Spain.

La Liga has agreed a 15-year deal with US media company Relevent to promote football in North America.

Commenting on their official website, Girona said: 'The club has accepted the proposal, understanding that it is a great possibility of expansion and growth not only for Girona but also for our city and our region.

The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami has been discussed as a possible venue for the fixture

'Little more than three years ago, the club was fighting not to disappear and now our goal is to consolidate ourselves in the First Division.'

The fixture in question is currently slated to be played on January 27 at Girona's Estadi Montilivi. There was no comment from Barcelona on Thursday.

A spokesman for La Liga said: 'La Liga is working together with our new partner Relevent Sports to organise the first fixture to be scheduled in the USA. At this point we cannot confirm the teams, match, date or season.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
