The Real Madrid general meeting took place this Sunday, November 24. Under the leadership of club president Kylian Mbappé, Florentino Perez took the opportunity to openly criticize the Spanish Football championship. The president of La Liga responded on his account X with each remark. The war between Javier Tebas and Florentino Perez continues a little more.
“Spanish clubs are in crisis”
Very critical of La Liga for many years, the president of the club in the 15 Champions League did not mince his words. He spoke in particular on the distribution of income from TV rights, or the commercial agreement with the CVC fund. The 77-year-old was also very concerned about the economic situation of European football, particularly targeting the Professional Football League (LFP) in France. “The situation in the Spanish league is not much better”declared Florentino Pérez.
“The last rights sale in 2021 produced disappointing results, worse than those of the previous cycle, especially when taking into account inflation. Without going any further, Real Madrid earned, during the last season, practically the same amount of LaLiga audiovisual rights as ten years ago. Spanish clubs are in crisis and the operation with CVC has only made the situation worse”said the Real prediction.
“You can’t fool all the La Liga clubs”
Faced with these attacks, La Liga president Javier Tebas responded on his social networks, point by point, to what Perez mentioned. “Fifth Lie”the president of La Liga responded in this way, reposting the video extracts of the Merengue leader, and developing a developed response contrary to what the latter asserted. “After listening to Florentino Perez at the assembly, I continue to see in him this “messianic” character of the savior of football that, paradoxically, no one supports”ironically declared the 62-year-old man, before continuing, “for him, everything is bad and only his ideas are good”.
Although they have not gotten along for many years now, Javier Tebas has defended the Spanish championship. On the subject of Real’s income, Tebas also corrected what Perez had announced: “The reality is very different, the club (Real Madrid) has increased its income, just like FC Barcelona. What Florentino Perez does not seem to accept is that the centralized sale of TV rights has allowed other clubs to benefit from the extraordinary growth of Spanish football, which has increased its revenues. Florentino Perez does not accept that collective success does not depend solely on Real Madrid. »
