’We are accustomed to such matters. The issue of holding the match in Miami was preliminarily agreed with the league and Villarreal. We approach this calmly. We will delight the fans in Miami and the USA.

Real is free to act as it wishes, and I will not interfere. I am the president of Barcelona, and Real does what it deems necessary. We will continue to do what was decided and not enter into disputes,' Mundo Deportivo quotes Laporta as saying.
