If this match was to "expand" the competition and La Liga, then why only Barca and Villarreal? Why not the entire league? If this is their way of saying they wish to expand then why is it that Man City and Liverpool don't play in Spain? It's strange that just one match is going to be played outside of Spain for the benefit of the LEAGUE, don't you think?
