La Liga president downplays Barcelona, Real Madrid-backed Super League: “Zero chances of establishing”

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled earlier today that UEFA and FIFA had abused their authority by preventing the development of a new tournament.

The decision now allows the Super League, which now only has two backers in Barcelona and Real Madrid, to flourish once more.

However, an ardent opposer of the project since the beginning of its inception, La Liga president Javier Tebas has come out to condemn the recent development, asserting that it undermines the principles of fair competition.

Immediately downplaying the sustainability of the Super League, Tebas said: “The Super League loses with this ruling. There is very little chance of it being held in 2025/2026.

“The chance of establishing the Super League is zero.”

Claiming his way of thinking differs considerably from Florentino Perez, founder of the Super League and President of Real Madrid, Tebas added: “I did not greet Perez. We were close to each other in place but far away from each other in thought.”

The La Liga president then noted that Perez only has one supporter, taking a jibe at Barça in the process as well.

“I saw the list of clubs that supported Perez and it was only one club, it would be a bilateral tournament between Barcelona and Real Madrid,” he remarked.

When asked about the possibility of the Super League games being aired for free, Tebas vehemently ruled out the scenario, arguing:

“This is crazy, impossible. If Perez hears who said this, he will fire him.“

Once again negating the Super League’s legitimacy, Tebas stated: “There will be no Super League in two years or six years. There is nothing to negotiate, when they want to kick you out of your home, don’t negotiate.

“The league is our home. The Super League did not obtain a license, they invented a meaningless story. With today’s ruling, I am very calm, much more calm than yesterday.”
