Javier Tebas names one condition that will make him resign as La Liga president – it has to do with Barca and Real Madrid

"I call it the lying Super League, the fake. I call it that way because everything is a lie there. They want to put a different face, that of Bernd Reichard [the Super League CEO], whom I call Bernd Copperfield, but the one behind it is Florentino [Perez]," La Liga president, Javier Tebas, has told El Mundo.

"This is a lie because they say they are not going to harm the domestic leagues when they know that they are going to (...) If it goes ahead, of course I will resign. I would leave, because Spanish football would be heading towards a terrible economic crisis," he added.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are said to be confident in launching the European Super League in the coming seasons following a recent European Court ruling. Although the two clubs are the only founders of the project, there is reportedly some positive contact with many other European teams who would be willing to be part of it.

The Super League will be aiming to replace the UEFA competitions, including the Champions League, and provide the participating clubs with a much higher income than the one they get by featuring in the existing European tournaments.
