The Barcelona vs Javier Tebas cold war has shot up in temperature, following an official statement from the club which has officially demanded that the La Liga president resigns.
An accusation in La Vanguardia suggested that Tebas presented false evidence in Barcelona’s corruption case involving Enriquez Negreira. Vanguardia has reportedly received payments from Barcelona in the past over the Barcagate situation. And Tebas has hit back, asking the paper to correct their story after running a headline that he presented false evidence.
Barcelona vs Javier Tebas war takes a heated new turn
If the Twitter exchange wasn’t enough, the Barcelona vs Javier Tebas rivalry has now been blown up after a strongly worded statement from the club.
“It is not the first time that the president of La Liga has used the media weapons at his disposal to damage FC Barcelona, however, in contrast to his usual nonsense, we could never have imagined that he could try to incriminate our club with false evidence.”
“The article published today by La Vanguardia is of such gravity that it should put all the clubs in La Liga on alert, given that is talks of practices which are in no way consistent with the job of the president of La Liga,” it read.
“If only for this fact, that of giving himself powers that do not belong to him, although also for reasons of dignity and respect for the presidency of La Liga, Mr.Tebas should resign his post. Nevertheless, aware of his obsession with persecuting FC Barcelona and showing his constant averse and manifest dislike of our Club, we understand that the current La Liga president will persist in his efforts to keep damaging our club.”
