Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, has long been committed to making La Liga international, with expanding the North American market being a key part of his global strategy. He believes that Barcelona, compared to Real Madrid, is a more suitable partner for hosting matches abroad, and Villarreal, as a team qualified for the Champions League, will add more excitement to the game. For Barcelona, this move aligns with its strategy to strengthen its international influence and create new revenue sources.
