Barcelona want three La Liga matches to be played outside Spain every season, as they endeavour to gain an advantage over the Premier League.
Club president Josep Bartomeu told the Mail on Sunday: ‘I want there to be three games — one in the US, one in the Middle East, and one in Asia — every season to promote La Liga.
