Domestic game risks being ripped from its fabric as La Liga and Serie A seek approval from Uefa to play fixtures abroadIt has been called the biggest existential threat to European football since the ill-fated Super League.

The sport risks being ripped from its fabric should Barcelona and Villarreal be allowed to break the mould and stage a top-flight fixture in Miami this December.The topic has dominated discussion in football’s corridors of power recently and, at the heart of a complex and deeply emotive problem, the immediate equation is simple.
