<p>European football leagues are increasingly striving to broaden their reach and showcase matches in new territories, aiming to attract a wider audience. Recently, Javier Tebas, the president of <strong>LaLiga</strong>, announced plans for the <strong>Villarreal</strong> vs <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barcelona</a></strong> match to occur outside of Spain.</p>



<p>However, due to objections from players and certain executives within <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/la-liga" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LaLiga</a></strong>, the decision was made to cancel the proposed move to the USA for the match, citing various reasons, <strong>including the compensation for the Villarreal’s supporters and the economical revenue for both teams.</strong></p>



<p>Aside from the technical and logistical challenges of hosting the match abroad, which included issues with infrastructure, there was a notable lack of support from executives and fans,<strong> all of whom voiced their opposition to hosting the game outside Spain.</strong></p>



<p>What initially seemed like an exciting opportunity quickly turned contentious, as some fans argued it would be unfair to expect them to pay for flights to the US to watch their team, <strong>especially given Barcelona’s considerable international fanbase that already provides substantial support beyond Spain.</strong></p>

<h2>Villarreal’s statement regarding the planned US game</h2>



<p>Amid the controversy surrounding the proposed venue change, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/villarreal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Villarreal</a></strong> expressed their dissatisfaction. <strong>The club released a statement outlining their reasons for opposing the relocation of the match to the United States.</strong></p>

<ol><li><em>“The financial resources allocated by LaLiga for this initiative should be used to compensate Villarreal CF season ticket holders. These loyal fans, who would miss a match included in their season pass, should be offered free travel to Miami to watch the game or receive a partial refund of their ticket price.</em></li><li><em>Neither Villarreal nor Barcelona will gain any direct financial benefit from LaLiga for relocating the match. As stated in point one, the funds should compensate Villarreal’s season ticket holders, and it would be unfair to other LaLiga clubs,”</em> Villarreal clarified.</li></ol>



<p>The match was initially scheduled to take place in Miami on December 20, but given the challenges and the backlash from supporters, it was ultimately canceled. Instead, <strong>the game will be held today at La Ceramica Stadium, Villarreal’s home ground in Spain.</strong></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-jr">Vinicius Junior</a></strong> and <strong>Real Madrid</strong>‘s big win over <strong>Barcelona</strong> in the Spanish Clasico ended in chaos as both teams were involved in a huge brawl, with the Brazilian star and <strong>Lamine Yamal</strong> engaging in a <strong>heated exchange</strong>.</p>



<p>Speaking to the media after the game, Vinicius addressed the incidents that took place at the Santiago Bernabeu. <strong>Far from being proud</strong> of the situation, the winger acknowledged that, even if tempers can flare in these kinds of derbies, they should represent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> fans <strong>without fighting</strong> against opponents.</p>



<p><em>“A message to all Madridistas, especially those who came to Bernabeu and supported us passionately. <strong>This is how the Clásico is; there are many things happening on and off the pitch</strong></em>,” Vinicius said.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>We try to maintain balance, but that’s not always possible. We didn’t want to offend anyone, neither the young players nor the fans</strong>. We know that when we step onto the pitch, we have to play our role, and that’s how it was today. Hala Madrid.”</em></p>

<p>An interesting comment by the 25-year-old, who knows that what happens on the field should stay there. However, this kind of episode seemed inevitable as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Yamal</a> <strong>got in the eye of the storm</strong> with controversial comments aimed at Real Madrid before the game.</p>

<h2>Vinicius and Yamal’s exchange following Real Madrid’s win over Barcelona</h2>



<p>The end of Sunday’s Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu saw <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-heated-brawl-involving-yamal-courtois-at-the-end-of-real-madrid-vs-barcelona-spanish-clasico">Yamal being targeted by many Real Madrid players, including Thibaut Courtois</a> and Dani Carvajal, with Vinicius chasing the Spanish youngster as he headed towards the tunnel.</p>

Lamine heated up the derby during the week, <strong>making noise with some eyebrow-raising comments</strong> in a stream with Ibai Llanos.</p>



<h2>Yamal’s Real Madrid comments backfire</h2>



<p>When asked about it, Yamal suggested that Real Madrid are favored by the referees. <strong>On top of that</strong>, he got under Los Blancos’ skin by reminding everyone about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a>‘s 4-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu last season.</p>



<p>Yamal’s confidence before this game didn’t age well, with Real Madrid claiming all three points on Sunday. His comments backfired quickly, and the ending to the tough loss was far from peaceful. Still, Vinicius <strong>isn’t adding any more fuel</strong> to the fire. The same cannot be said for his teammates though, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/jude-bellingham-takes-3-word-shot-at-lamine-yamal-after-real-madrid-win-over-barcelona-in-el-clasico">Jude Bellingham taking a three-word shot at Yamal</a> after the Clasico.</p>

Vinicius Jr breaks silence on fight with Yamal, Barcelona after Real Madrid win

<p>It was another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-vs-barcelona-live-spanish-clasico-on-matchday-10-of-2025-26-laliga">hardcore match between <strong>Real Madrid </strong>and <strong>Barcelona </strong>for <strong>Matchday 10</strong> of <strong>LaLiga</strong></a>. After a 2-1 win, the standings moved accordingly. How are they looking right after the game?</p>



<p>With the win, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> extended the lead to five points as they reached 27 units </strong>due to nine wins and just one loss on the season. Xabi Alonso’s squad is arguably one of the best in Europe right now. Their form is undeniable.</p>



<p><strong>As for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barcelona</a> they end up in second place with 22 points</strong>. Out of the 10 games played, it’s seven wins, one draw and now two losses for the ‘Cules’. It was a tough away game for Hansi Flick’s side.</p>



<h2>Barcelona couldn’t do much offensively</h2>



<p><strong>The red-and-blue weren’t able to impose their usual style of fast-paced, possession-based soccer</strong>. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamine Yamal</a>, their best player, was a non-factor during the game. Pedri, the other superstar on the team, was marked pretty well during the match too.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251026_BUS_515791_Lamine-Yamal-winger-for-FC-Barcelona-1024x576_13d4f882.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Lamine Yamal, winger for FC Barcelona" class="wp-image-514453" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Lamine Yamal, winger for FC Barcelona</figcaption></figure>



<p>In fact, <strong>Barcelona’s goal came from a Madrid mistake</strong>. Without that, Barcelona weren’t able to create that many goalscoring opportunities. Defensively, <strong>Flick’s stubborness to do a high-pressure block bit them as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kylian Mbappe</a>‘s pace was too much for them to handle</strong>. Most of Madrid dangerous plays came in counters relying on Mbappe’s and Vini Jr.’s speed.</p>



<h2>Is Barcelona’s second place in jeopardy?</h2>



<p>By losing this game, <strong>Barcelona are cemented at second place for now</strong>. The teams that followed closely were Villarreal and Espanyol, but they already played their Matchday 10 games and ended with 20 and 18 games respectively.</p>



<p>Now, Barcelona have no room for error as another slip could definitely cost them the second place and make even harder to pursue Madrid. Also, <strong>next week Barcelona will have to do without <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pedri" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pedri</a>, who was sent off in the latter parts of the game</strong>, which <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-heated-brawl-involving-yamal-courtois-at-the-end-of-real-madrid-vs-barcelona-spanish-clasico">ended with a heated brawl involving Thibaut Courtois, Lamine Yamal, and Vinicius Junior</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-kylian-mbappe-scores-great-goal-for-real-madrid-vs-barcelona-to-open-the-scoring-in-el-clasico"><strong>Kylian Mbappe</strong> opened the scoring for <strong>Real Madrid</strong> against <strong>Barcelona</strong></a> in the Spanish Clasico, but he also <strong>failed to extend his team’s lead from the penalty spot</strong> in the second half.</p>



<p>Following a VAR review, Real Madrid were awarded a penalty for an Eric Garcia handball inside Barcelona’s box. Aiming to build on his opening goal, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Mbappe</a> took charge of the spot-kick, <strong>but Wojciech Szczesny guessed his intention and saved the penalty.</strong></p>



<p>The Pole goalkeeper dove to his right, making sure to deflect Mbappe’s penalty shot. This save keeps Barcelona one goal away from equalizing the match, with the hosts leading 2-1. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-vs-barcelona-live-spanish-clasico-on-matchday-10-of-2025-26-laliga">Follow our liveblog of the Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona</a> to keep up with real-time updates!</p>

<h2>Who was the last Real Madrid player to miss a penalty vs. Barcelona?</h2>



<p>Mbappe’s missed penalty <strong>made history for the wrong reasons</strong>. According to @2010MisterChip on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, this is <strong>the first time in 34 years</strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> miss a spot-kick against Barcelona.</p>



<p>The last Real Madrid player to miss a penalty in a Spanish Clasico <strong>was Emilio Butragueño, who on June 8, 1991</strong>, failed to score past Andoni Zubizarreta from the spot at the Santiago Bernabeu.</p>



<h2>What was the last missed penalty in a Spanish Clasico?</h2>



<p>On top of that, Mbappe’s miss <strong>ended with a long streak of penalties scored</strong> in the Spanish Clasico both for Real Madrid and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a>. 19 consecutive penalties had been scored in this derby until today.</p>



<p>Before Mbappe’s failed shot, the last penalty miss in the Spanish Clasico had come <strong>on December 13, 2008, when Iker Casillas stopped a shot from Samuel Eto’o.</strong></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a></strong> has given <strong>Real Madrid</strong> the lead against <strong>Barcelona</strong> in great fashion. 22 minutes into El Clasico, the Frenchman opened the scoring at the Santiago Bernabeu with a <strong>clinical finish inside the box</strong>.</p>



<p>Jude Bellingham set up Mbappe with a fantastic pass, leaving the former PSG star one-on-one with Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. The Pole couldn’t do much against Kylian, who easily <strong>put the ball in the back of the net</strong>.</p>



<p>Mbappe’s goal came <strong>only a few minutes after having a fantastic strike disallowed</strong> due to offside in the build-up. Far from letting that situation destroy his confidence, Mbappe kept up with his strong pace to eventually break the deadlock for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>.</p>

<h2>Mbappe extends scoring streak against Barcelona</h2>



<p>Mbappe <strong>has been on fire</strong> against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> lately. As @2010MisterChip notes on X (formerly known as Twitter), this is the <strong>fourth straight derby the French superstar has found the net</strong> for Los Blancos.</p>



<p>The striker has gotten used to scoring against Barcelona from his days with Paris Saint-Germain, boasting <strong>12 goals in 9 games against the Cules</strong>. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-vs-barcelona-live-spanish-clasico-on-matchday-10-of-2025-26-laliga">Follow our liveblog of the Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona</a> to keep up with all the updates!</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-vs-barcelona-live-spanish-clasico-on-matchday-10-of-2025-26-laliga"><strong>Real Madrid</strong> and <strong>Barcelona </strong>face off in the first official Clasico</a> of the <strong>2025-26 LaLiga</strong> season at the Santiago Bernabeu, in what promises to be a thrilling encounter between Spain’s biggest rivals. Fans expect a high-level contest filled with the league’s top talents on both sides.</p>



<p>It remains to be seen how ready some players are to start after recent absences. Real Madrid enter this clash on a strong winning streak, <strong>most recently defeating Juventus 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League</strong> thanks to a solid defensive display.</p>



<p>Barcelona, meanwhile, have found their rhythm again after two emphatic victories — <strong>including a 6-1 win over Girona</strong> — highlighted by a Marcus Rashford brace and a hat-trick from Fermin Lopez. The Catalans have been firing on all cylinders and will aim to carry that momentum into the Bernabeu.</p>



<h2>Real Madrid lineup vs Barcelona</h2>



<p><strong>Dean Huijsen returns</strong> to the starting XI after missing the last <strong>two matches with a soleus muscle injury</strong> that also kept him out of Spain’s recent international fixtures. However, <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold remains out</strong>, whereas Dani Carvajal will start on the bench. That is once again forcing head coach Xabi Alonso to deploy Federico Valverde as a makeshift right-back.</p>
