The president of the Spanish La Liga, Javier Tebas, spoke about the influence of stars on the development of championships. His words are quoted by Ole.

“I wish we had Messi, Ronaldo, Mourinho, Guardiola – all the stars… But that’s not the key to continued growth. Players are ephemeral, and clubs and good competition make you strong.

Take Saudi Arabia. There are many stars there, but she never rose to the level of the best in the world.

Speaking of economics, no TV company told us anything about paying less for TV rights when Messi left.

Contracts are concluded for five, six, seven years, so it is important that the league remains competitive,” Tebas said.
