Hmmmm,Thegoalmac can reveal that Barcelona and Espanyol will be removed from La Liga if Catalonia becomes an independent country, Spanish FA president Javier Tebas claimed.
Sincerely,as a football fan,this won't be good at all,that will then leave only Real Madrid and Atletico as the two strongest team in Spain,which means Real Madrid will win most of the titles in Spain,as Atletico doesn't have the financial power to be very competitive every year.
And this will also mean that the biggest rivalry in world football today,the El Classico will be gone.
What do you think about this likely exclusion of Barcelona from Spanish La Liga?
"Barcelona and Espanyol would not play in the Spanish League if
Catalonia becomes independent for the following reason: the Sports Act
has an additional provision that only one non-Spanish state can
play in
La Liga or official Spanish competitions, and that is Andorra," Tebas
told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.
Tebas conceded if Catalonia did become independent, changes to the
law secluding Barcelona and Espanyol from the league could be put on the
agenda.
"For that to take place there would need to be a change in parliament
and we'd need to see if the affected industry would agree or not,"
Tebas said.
On the issue of match-fixing, Tebas confirmed the LFP were
investigating a fixture between Elche and Malaga - one of six matches
under the microscope.
"I have not believed what has been said for some time now. I think it's been increasingly evident in recent times," Tebas said.
"Some dressing rooms are taking extreme weight from above. I don't
know if Spanish football is prepared to see a player go to jail for a
year, but there will definitely be penalties, just like the ones you see
in other countries.
"We are investigating the Elche-Malaga game, but this one is a little
different. We are looking at two [or] three players from the Malaga
team but we're not sure about Elche yet.
"For the last four years, we've got six games that we're investigating.
"People want us to have a clean game. I haven't received a call from
any manager who has taken issue with what we're planning to do."
