The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation has spoken about sports news
The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, assured on Tuesday that the “greatest ambassador” of the European Super League, with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona as founding clubs, “is not Florentino Pérez or Joan Laporta, it is Javier Tebas », president of LaLiga.
“I think the same as (Aleksander) Ceferin – president of UEFA – we have the best competition, the Champions League. It could be better, but within football. UEFA is the government of football, the ideal is to do it as before. UEFA has the support of the EU, because we have accepted the associative model, we must not break it. I respect other ways of thinking, it can coincide, but not in the forms,” said Rubiales during the Europa Press Sports Breakfast, sponsored by DAZN, State Lotteries, Repsol and Unicaja.
The president acknowledged that Real Madrid and Barça are “two very important clubs”, but stressed that he does not “agree with them” regarding the proposal for the new format of the Super League. “It would be important to get them back to the cause and join UEFA for better football. The greatest ambassador of the Super League is not Florentino (Pérez) nor (Joan) Laporta, it is Tebas,” said Rubiales.
“You can’t give a £40 million loan to a club, ask them to pay it back in 40 years and also keep 10 per cent of the TV rights. That makes the poorest even poorer and the rich poorer, relative to the prime minister. In the end, LaLiga is getting poorer, we have to fix it now,” he added of Tebas’ criticism of Spain’s Super League and Liga league model to compete with other domestic leagues.
