Dani Ceballos has found himself in the headlines again — though this time, not because of transfer rumors. The Real Madrid midfielder was spotted by El Chiringuito de Jugones cameras as he arrived at the Movistar Arena to watch the club’s basketball team in EuroLeague action. What began as a casual moment quickly took an unexpected turn.

A journalist asked Ceballos for his thoughts on the upcoming La Liga match between Barcelona and Villarreal being played in Miami (USA) — a proposal that has sparked intense debate in recent days. Initially, the Andalusian tried to deflect the question with humor, saying with a grin, “I was just talking about it with my girlfriend.”

However, when the question persisted, Ceballos dropped the joke and spoke plainly: “Man, it’s clear they’re distorting the League,”
he said bluntly, leaving no room for doubt about his stance.

His comment adds fuel to the growing criticism from across Spanish football circles, with many believing that hosting a La Liga match outside Spain undermines the competition’s integrity and the spirit of the league. Even Real Madrid has previously voiced opposition to the controversial plan.
