La Liga on Thursday (December 21) released a short statement on the judgement of the European Court of Justice ruling the decision in favor of the Super League. In their post on ‘X’, they have called the league ‘selfish and elitist’ and reminded the fans that the breakaway league is not open to all clubs. The decision by the European court saw UEFA and FIFA lose their power to ban clubs.
Expressing their thoughts on ‘X’, La Liga emphasized on the fact that they are still backing UEFA and FIFA despite the ruling. They want the clubs to earn their place in the European competitions and not just get a direct entry because of their financial status.
“Today, more than ever, we reiterate that the ‘Super League’ is a selfish and elitist model. Anything that is not fully open, with direct access only through the domestic leagues, season by season, is a closed format. European football has spoken. Listen. #EarnItOnThePitch,” wrote La Liga on their ‘X’ handle.
Earlier, La Liga president Javier Tebas said that he was against the idea of Super League since its inception. “There will be no SuperLeague in 2025. The European Union has already stated that it wants to maintain the current model in Europe, although some nuances may change. An organization will not be created in the hands of the richest. Laporta must study more how pay television works because it is an important part of his income,” said Tebas.
