Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish League, confirms his happiness continuously with Barcelona, Lionel Messi, and stresses the strength of the domestic championship, regardless of the names of the stars.
Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish Football League, expressed his happiness with the decision of Argentine footballer Lionel Messi, the captain of Barcelona, with the Catalan club.

This came in press statements made by Tebas for the newspaper "Corriere dello Sport", during which he confirmed that he had not deliberately entered a war against Messi in the past period.

Tebas said: "My statements were not a war against Messi, I would do the same thing with any other player, and we as a league must preserve the rights of clubs and always respect them."

 

He added: "On a personal level, there was no conflict with Messi or those around him. I have a lot of special appreciation for him, as everything in football during the last 20 years revolves around him."

 

He continued: "I repeat my words, my intervention was only for the sake of respecting the contracts, but with the name of Messi in the matter, everything appeared in different dimensions, but in the end I am happy with Messi's decision not to enter into legal problems."

And he ended his remarks: "Messi's departure would have affected the Spanish League and of course everyone wants to see him in his championship, but the tournament is above everyone, whether clubs or stars, and La Liga has improved despite the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar da Silva, and soon the departure of Luis Suarez."

It is worth noting that Messi had announced through Goal.com that he would continue with Barcelona for the new season, and he had not yet clarified his position on leaving or staying beyond the end of his current decade.
