The La Liga boss has hit out at the figures behind the breakaway competition.
Plans to form a breakaway competition named ‘European Super League’ took media by storm last year. A dozen elite clubs across Europe revealed their plans to create a new tournament, where the founding members had the privilege of avoiding relegation.
The proposal generated huge backlash among football fans and officials, forcing nine of the twelve founding members to retreat from their initial decision.
However, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Juventus have refused to give up on their plans. In recent days, rumours around new plans to revive the competition have surfaced media again.
La Liga chief Javier Tebas has slammed Juventus president Andrea Agnelli for his recent activities to reform the Super League proposal.
He said (via Goal): “He [Agnelli] will have to explain it, if he doesn’t explain it, he will be lying.
“A week ago, I think it was in his house there was a meeting of the three teams. Now they are saying they don’t want fixed slots, Real Madrid are saying they don’t want the first slot. It is false.
“It is very difficult for the English teams to form part of this competition so they are creating a European league with two categories and the national leagues are the second categories.
“There will be two or three people relegated but there will always be the typical teams – Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid. It will be difficult for them to go down.
“They have made enemies of UEFA and the Premier League, whose growth goes against their model. We know this, we have got this information. They can say what they want but this is what they are working on.
“Every time I read about it, I get cross, I think they lie more than Putin to be honest.
“They are insisting that introducing this will not affect national leagues. We must be idiots, we must be dumb. But we all say it hurts the national leagues.
“For me it is an insult, I feel humiliated. They will do huge harm.”
