He described it as an "elitist and oligarchic" initiative, asserting that Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, is the primary force behind it. Tebas warned that the Super League could jeopardise national competitions and lead to significant financial losses for Spanish clubs. 🔍 Political Parties Respond to Tebas's Testimony During the session, political parties had varied reactions. Sumar and Vox supported Tebas's stance against the Super League. In contrast, the People's Party (PP) and Junts appeared unprepared, not directly addressing the issue. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) took a cautious approach, emphasizing the need for prudence and dialogue concerning new football proposals. 🔍 Spain's Unique Position in the EU Regarding the Super League Tebas highlighted that Spain was the only EU member state that did not sign a resolution supporting the traditional European sports model, which emphasizes merit-based qualification. He suggested that this abstention might be influenced by the government's close ties to Real Madrid's leadership. 🔍 Potential Financial Impact on Spanish Football According to a study commissioned by LaLiga, the introduction of the Super League could result in a 32% decrease in television revenue for Spanish clubs, amounting to approximately €1.16 billion. This figure could rise to a 47% loss if Super League matches are scheduled on weekends, directly competing with domestic league fixtures.
