VARIOUS EXTERIORS OF THE UEFA HEADQUARTERS / LARGE BALL IN HEADQUARTER GROUNDS STORY: The proposed LaLiga match between Barcelona and Villarreal in Miami has been canceled by its promoter following fierce criticism in Spain, LaLiga said on Tuesday (October 21).      The fixture, scheduled for the Hard Rock Stadium on December 20, was set to be the first LaLiga match held outside Spain and the first European league match staged abroad.    "LaLiga reports that, following discussions with the promoter of the LaLiga official match in Miami, the latter has announced its decision to cancel the event due to the uncertainty generated in Spain in recent weeks," LaLiga said in a statement.     "LaLiga deeply regrets that this project, which represented a historic and unparalleled opportunity for the internationalization of Spanish football, cannot go ahead.     "The staging of an official match outside our borders would have been a decisive step in the global expansion of our competition."

VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AL HILAL V AL SADD IN THE AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ELITE MATCH  (SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW) SHOWS: RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA (OCTOBER 21, 2025) (AFC – See restrictions) STORY: Al-Hilal sealed a 3-1 win over Qatar's Al-Sadd in Riyadh on Tuesday (October 21) as the Saudi Pro League outfit side their perfect start to the western league phase of the Asian Champions League Elite. First-half goals from Yusuf Akcicek and Kalidou Koulibaly put Simone Inzaghi's side in control before Roberto Firmino pulled one back for the visitors, but Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's late free kick sealed the points for Al-Hilal. Akcicek put the four-times winners in front after 25 minutes when he struck from close range after Koulibaly touched the ball into his path following a Theo Hernandez free kick that the Al-Sadd defence struggled to clear. Fifteen minutes later Koulibaly put his own name on the scoresheet when he evaded the Al-Sadd defence to meet Ruben Neves' left-sided corner, the former Chelsea man chesting the ball over the line at the far post. Firmino gave Al-Sadd hope when he emerged unmarked to tap in Pedro Miguel's low cross from the right in the 63rd minute but Milinkovic-Savic curled a delightful free kick past Meshaal Barsham with nine minutes remaining to confirm the win. Al-Hilal lead the western league standings with a maximum nine points from three games, two points clear of defending champions Al-Ahli, also from Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates duo Shabab Al-Ahli and Al-Wahda. The top eight finishers in the 12-team standings advance to the knockout rounds, which will be in March with the centralised quarter-finals, semis and final in Saudi Arabia in April.
