La Liga and Real Madrid are at war after the 'Merengues' complained about the schedule of the match against Villarreal. Real Madrid assured that they will not play any match with less than 72 hours rest.
After Tebas replied a day later, on Sunday, assuring that Real Madrid have asked to play with more than 72 hours between La Liga and Copa, the president of the employers' association again used his social networks to charge against 'Los Blancos'.
“In the face of so much debate about schedules, two points: since there have been European competitions on Thursdays, more than 14 years ago, clubs all over Europe, including Spanish clubs, have played on Sundays without a 72-hour rest,” said Tebas.
"No spokesperson will deny the information that Florentino Perez intervened before the CSD so that Barcelona's appeal would be upheld. And watch out, because he himself commented on the issue in the Supercopa final, according to the news. If this were true, we would be facing a very serious matter," he said.
