FC Barcelona demanded the resignation of the president of the Spanish League (La Liga), Javier Tebas, following a report stated that the league presented false evidence once morest Barcelona to representatives of the public prosecutor, in the arbitration scandal related to the Catalan club.
Tebas had already claimed that the report of the “La Fangoradea” newspaper was misleading and had incorrect assumptions, but that was enough to reignite the flames of revenge between the two sides.
And the club stated in a statement: “This is not the first time that the president of La Liga has used the media weapons at his disposal to harm the Barcelona team .. However, in contrast to his usual nonsense, we would never have imagined that he would try to incriminate our club with false evidence.”
Barcelona considered that the report published by “La Fanguardia” represented a degree “of danger with which all clubs in the Spanish League should be put on alert, given that it talks regarding practices that are in no way consistent with the position” of the president of the League.
The club said: “For reasons of dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Tebas must resign from his post..But aware of his obsession with persecuting FC Barcelona and showing his constant hatred and clear hatred for our club, we understand that the current president of LaLiga will continue his efforts to harm our club.”
For his part, Tebas demanded that the newspaper make a correction, saying that the report “contains assertions and false information” that would “severely damage my honour” and the “image” of La Liga.
