Tebas assures that the celebration of the Super League is “legally impossible”

“They have sold us a message that has nothing to do with the resolution,” Javier Tebas answers to the promoters of the Super League who assure that the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) supports this European competition. The president of LaLiga is reluctant to this interpretation of the ruling and assures that the CJEU ruling only ratifies that UEFA has a monopoly where in some circumstances it may be exercising an “abuse of a dominant position”, as well as that it must establish “transparent” procedures to set criteria that authorize new competitions.

In an appearance held this afternoon at the competition headquarters, the LaLiga leader assured that far from endorsing the celebration of the European Super League, after studying the ruling of the CJEU, he remains clear that this new competition has no place in the ecosystem of current European football “neither in the short, nor in the medium, nor in the long term”: “Legally it is impossible,” he declared.

In his speech, Tebas has also criticized the Government’s position on this matter and has asked Moncloa for more “clarity” when addressing this matter, highlighting the figure of the European commissioners who “have “He will be clear with his rejection.” Along these lines he has criticized that the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has congratulated Florentino Pérez after the sentence and accuses him of having forgotten that in Madrid “there are more teams.”

In this way, the president of LaLiga continues the tone of the speech given this Thursday during the inauguration of the new president of the Higher Sports Council (CSD), José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes. An act that has been used to explain that the ruling “does not authorize the project”, only urges the National Court to “make a decision” on whether the rules that UEFA currently has to use new competitions “meet the rules of transparency and discrimination.”

Asked about the procedure to be carried out after learning the position of the CJEU, Tebas has been cautious and has chosen to wait for a ruling from the Spanish court where, in his opinion, “UEFA is not going to have any problem in proving what is asks them.”
