The players joined the Spanish Footballers' Association initiative at the Coliseum.
The Getafe and Real Madrid players held a 15-second pause at the start of the match played at the Coliseum stadium. They joined the initiative, organised by the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) and which took place in all the Primera División matchday 9 fixtures, to protest, as explained in its statement, "symbolically as a demonstration against LaLiga's lack of transparency, dialogue and consistency regarding the possibility of playing a league match in the United States".
"In view of LaLiga's constant refusals and unrealistic proposals, the Spanish Footballers' Association categorically rejects a project that does not have the approval of the main protagonists of our sport and demands that the employers' association set up a negotiating table at which all information is shared and the project's exceptional characteristics of the are analysed, the needs and concerns of the players are addressed and the protection of their labour rights and compliance with current regulations are guaranteed".
