Spanish players protest La Liga’s Miami match decision; Alonso supports protest, confirms Mbappé and Bellingham fitness.
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso backed La Liga players’ symbolic protests against the league’s decision to host Barcelona’s match against Villarreal in Miami on December 20, the first European top-flight game played outside Europe.
He cited lack of club consultation and consensus as undermining competition integrity, calling the 15-second delays at match starts a positive expression of player concern.
The Spanish Footballers’ Association confirmed widespread support, though Barcelona and Villarreal players were not involved.
Alonso confirmed Kylian Mbappé is fit and available for selection after recovering from ankle discomfort, and that Jude Bellingham is progressing well post-shoulder surgery.
