In other games, the television broadcast focuses on just above the center circle, rather than using a wide-angle shot and showing players from both teams standing still.
In August, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) approved plans to move Villarreal's match against Barcelona on December 20 to the Hard Rock Stadium, a decision that sparked dissatisfaction within Spain.
The Spanish Football Players' Association (AFE) said in a statement that it had coordinated with the captains of La Liga clubs to “symbolically protest” against the league's “lack of transparency, dialogue and consistency”.
The AFE did not ask Barcelona and Villarreal players to take part in the protest to avoid “being interpreted as a possible measure against any club”, but they did so anyway.
“We are not [protest] But we felt that out of respect for our professionals we needed to follow. “Barcelona midfielder Pedri said.
La Liga disputes accusationsexternal The AFE issued a statement this week saying it was “willing to meet with the AFE” to “facilitate a useful dialogue to explain the project”.
AFE said demonstrations will be held at the remaining La Liga matches this weekend.
Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso, who faces Getafe on Sunday, said: “We are against [Miami] match. We believe this distorts competition.
“There has been no agreement or negotiation to play the game at a neutral venue. The protest is positive and the sentiment is positive.
“We believed it would be possible if there was consensus, but that's not the case.”
The AFE said it rejected “a project that does not have the approval of the key players in our sport” in the face of “constant rejections and unrealistic proposals from La Liga”.
They added that La Liga needs to create a “negotiating table where all information is shared and the special features of the project are analysed”, “addressing the concerns of football players and guaranteeing the protection of their labor rights and compliance with current regulations”.
The BBC has contacted La Liga for comment.
Confirmation of the Miami game follows the decision by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) to sanction the Serie A match between AC Milan and Como to be played in Perth, Australia, in February.
On Friday, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said his “players were not happy” and he was “not happy” but “La Liga decided we will play this game”.
Real Madrid objected after the match was announced, saying the consequences would be “very serious”, while UEFA approved the move “reluctantly”.
This week, Spanish Football Federation president Rafael Luzan said the move would be “good for football”, while Barcelona president Joan Laporta said the game would “definitely be a good show”.
