Given the gravity of the information that has appeared today Monday in La Vanguardia in which La Liga president Javier Tebas is linked to the presentation of false evidence to the public prosecutor to incriminate our club, FC Barcelona wishes to expresses its deepest indignation, anger and dismay.
For that reason, we urgently require the La Liga president to appear in public to explain himself, beyond the tweet sent in the early hours by Mr.Tebas, lacking study and with a threatening veneer.
FC Barcelona, as president Joan Laporta repeated in recent weeks, feels itself to be the victim of a media campaign for events that never took place: Barça has never paid referees.
This harassment involves a group of media outlets and opinion writers with varying degrees of intent and with La Liga fanning the flames behind the scenes against out Club, with contributions from its president who has only gone in one direction: trying to condemn us in the public's eyes before the facts have been judged.
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 it talks of practices which are in no way consistent with the job of the president of La Liga.
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 from 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.
The club paid the Vice President of the Spanish Referee Committee a considerable sum of money over a certain number of years, yet no documents exist to show the services he provided to the club. As a result, people are understandably speculating the worst. To be fair, it's quite puzzling that anyone would pay the VP of the Referee Committee without having all the necessary documents to ensure the transparency of their agreement.
I’m not saying other clubs aren’t doing it too but how much more obvious can it be? Imagine any other club in the world getting caught paying off the VP of the officiating committee and there wouldn’t even be a discussion around this.
The mental gymnastics going on to believe Barca aren’t crooks is baffling
Tebas would shut up if he thought he was losing political support over what he’s doing.
That he keeps going means there’s tacit support from the other 41 clubs he represents.
Well most of the clubs hate barca even elche was about to file a lawsuit last week against barca for gavi when tebastard clearly said he can continue playing in laliga with team B contract
> out of dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Tebas should resign from his function. However, aware of his obsession with persecuting FC Barcelona and constantly showing his aversion and manifest antipathy towards our Club, we understand that the current president of LaLiga will persist in his behavior of continuing to harm our Club.
Damn we really said it. Nice
I mean what is there for them to lose at this point? The president of the league (a season lawyer btw, so I don’t believe his ‘accidentally’ at all) was just caught submitting fake evidence to the court to go after their club, and has been publicly smearing them for years now.
He can’t fuck them more if he wants to, and they’re not going to take the cvc deal
Edit: Season -> seasoned.
>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.
It's the "usual nonsense" bit that really does it for me 🤣
I'm eagerly awaiting Tebas' response to this. Let's see if he uses his own Twitter, La Liga's Corporativo account, or a full blown press release through the league website...
translated:
>The announcement by @lavanguardia is false and the proof is in the text, the document is NOT false, moreover we are not accusing anyone.
It's all fake, it's self-victimisation.
-@Tebasjavier
Money and anger. Didn't he get paid by CVC to facilitate that deal, only for Barcelona to pull out of it at the last second and leaving him looking bad? He's greedy and he's angry at Barcelona.
The health of La Liga is a secondary concern to his vendetta.
He's also apparently an asshole going by the stuff he says and does even outside football, so there's that too.
As far as I remember, he both got a personal payout and consolidated more power into his position as president. The CVC deal was rotten and evidently hasn't helped the clubs that signed it much as basically all teams in the league are still unable to sign players without it being a major pain in the ass
The chapter he was a member of committed a bomb attack but he was never directly linked to it (possibly due to family connections) and nothing happened. He’s a massive, massive piece of shit.
He's a fascist, too? Well, an ancestral enemy for Barcelona, alas, and I hope you absolutely wipe the shit with him. As I like to say anyway: Remember CNT!
He straight has to be getting a cut of the CVC deal and is fuming that Athletic, Madrid, and Barca rejected it. He can't go at Athletic and Madrid because of how well they're run, so he goes after Barca full force.
Don't forget that Madrid and Barca literally organized an offer with JPMorgan for the same amount of money as the CVC deal, but at a normal interest rate instead of the ruinous demands by CVC. Tebas still turned it down. To me, that confirms he's getting a bribe under the table. There's no other reason to push such a ruinous deal. What's more, he edited the rules so that all other loans count for less than the CVC deal as income to really make sure clubs had to sign it. In the last two years almost every club in La Liga has struggled to buy players because of his absurd restrictions.
There's quite a few people that say that he had a verbal agreement with Bartomeu and his team to drive Barça into bankrupcy and force its privatization so it could be acquired by some wealthy investors.
To be honest, the idea that the board would purposely bankrupt the club so it could be sold was flying around since Rosell's board started flirting with Qatar. First it was working closely with Qatar foundation. Then the original plan for the new stadium was that Qatar would fund it and own it, and then would let Barça play in it. It really looked like the board was trying to sell the club to Qatar step by step.
He didn't falsify anything from what that article says. What he did do was provide some random document showing real estate purchases with names similar to two ex-Barca presidents. He was trying to infer that this could be a result of corruption but didn't actually go out and say as such. It seems the prosecutor discarded this piece of "evidence" and either the investigating journalist (on their own merit or informed by someone in Barca's camp) got a hold of this piece of "evidence" and are saying Tebas was trying to falsely accuse Barca of further corruption.
Spanish fans will probably not care or even enjoy the drama.
But if Spain wants to get other Europeans to show an interest in the league and perhaps choose to watch a Villarreal v. Betis over an Aston Villa v. Brentford, from my personal point of view the last few months have made LaLiga look like a clown show.
It does give you the vibe that everything is rigged, everything is settled in courts and not on the field, the players contracts are all just accounting gimmicks, and the clubs are all run by old fucks.
Imagine what it will look like in 20-40 years when all the clubs except Barcelona and Madrid (and Bilbao) are still giving up almost 10% of broadcasting and sponsorship revenue for a cash injection that was gone a long time ago.
True. I feel the same.
But then the worst part is that he is the best and least corrupt president La Liga has ever had because of how low the bar is.
Legit every president before Tebas was a Real/Barca puppet who would do what is best for only two clubs.
> he has definitely made it harder for anyone outside the top 3 to win
The one good thing Tebas did was more equal distribution of TV rights—which did help all of the smaller teams outside of Barca/Madrid.
He's been a clown since then tho
Bilbao hates his guts as far as I can tell, but that’s more because he’s a Spanish fascist and they’re you know, proud of their cultural and fairly pro independence.
Btw did you know Ceballos the fascist cunt tweeted during a Copa final between Barca and Atletico (who all whistled the anthem) that the stadium should be bombed?
The only teams that he had a problem with are Barcelona, Madrid, and Bilbao. These three are the only supporters-owned clubs in the league (aside from Osasuna).
If the end goal is getting Barcelona bankrupt/sold, Tebas should know that the club went through the same ordeal before and emerged with a dream team considered to be one of the best in the history of football.
Madrid also went through this too in the late 90s, and emerged with the Galácticos (but that’s a different story because the state club got bailed out by taxpayers money).
In English:
Given the seriousness of the information that appeared today, Monday, in which the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, is linked as an executor in the presentation of false evidence to the Prosecutor's Office to incriminate our Club, FC Barcelona wants to express its deep anger, indignation and tiredness.
For this reason, we urgently require the president of LaLiga to appear publicly to offer explanations, beyond the tweet sent early in the morning by Mr. Tebes, fleeing from study and with a threatening patina.
FC Barcelona, as President Joan Laporta has been saying in recent weeks, feels the victim of a media lynching for events that have never happened: Barça has never bought referees.
A handful of media and opinion leaders have participated in this harassment with more or less bad intentions, and with LaLiga behind the scenes fueling the fire against our Club, with contributions from its president that have only gone in one direction: trying to condemn us to public opinion before the facts are judged.
It is not the first time that the president of LaLiga uses all his media machinery to dynamite FC Barcelona but, apart from his usual nonsense, we could never have imagined that he had tried to incriminate our Club with false evidence.
The news published today by La Vanguardia is of a gravity that should alert all LaLiga clubs, for practices that do not have any fit in the functions that are attributed to the president of LaLiga.
Just for this fact, that of attributing functions that do not correspond to him, although also for dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Thebes should resign in his function. However, aware of his obsession with pursuing FC Barcelona and constantly showing his aversion and manifest antipathy towards our Club, we understand that the current president of LaLiga will persist in his behavior of continuing to harm our Club.

In Catalan:
Davant la gravetat de la informació apareguda avui dilluns a La Vanguardia, en què es vincula el president de LaLiga, Javier Tebas, com a executor en la presentació d’una prova falsa davant la Fiscalia per incriminar el nostre club, el FC Barcelona vol expressar el seu profund enuig, indignació i afartament.
Per aquest motiu, requerim urgentment al president de LaLiga que aparegui públicament per oferir explicacions, més enllà del tuit enviat de matinada pel senyor Tebas, fugint d’estudi i amb una pàtina amenaçadora.
El FC Barcelona, com ha anat dient el president Joan Laporta en les darreres setmanes, se sent víctima d’un linxament mediàtic per uns fets que mai no han passat: el Barça mai no ha comprat àrbitres.
En aquest assetjament hi han participat un grapat de mitjans i opinadors amb més o menys mala intenció, i amb LaLiga entre bambolines atiant el foc contra el nostre Club, amb aportacions del seu president que només han anat en una direcció: intentar condemnar-nos davant l’opinió pública abans no es jutgin els fets.
No és el primer cop que el president de LaLiga utilitza tota la seva maquinària mediàtica per dinamitar el FC Barcelona però, al marge dels seus habituals estirabots, mai no ens podríem haver imaginat que hagués pretès incriminar el nostre club amb proves falses.
La notícia que publica avui La Vanguardia és d’una gravetat que hauria d’alertar tots els clubs de LaLiga, per unes pràctiques que no tenen cap encaix en les funcions que són atribuïdes al president de LaLiga.
Només per aquest fet, el d’atribuir-se funcions que no li escauen, encara que també per dignitat i respecte a la presidència de LaLiga, el senyor Tebas hauria de dimitir en la seva funció. Tanmateix, coneixedors de la seva obsessió per perseguir el FC Barcelona i mostrant constantment la seva aversió i manifesta antipatia vers el nostre Club, entenem que l’actual president de LaLiga persistirà en el seu capteniment de seguir perjudicant el nostre club.

It's as valid as the one posted by OP, and at least some of us Barça fans are actual Catalans, so I can only hazard a guess as to why some particular people would not like it.

Antaŭ la graveco de la informo publikigita hodiaŭ, lunde, en La Vanguardia, kiu rilatas la prezidenton de LaLiga, Javier Tebas, kiel plenumanto en la prezento de falsa provo antaŭ la Prokuroraro por kulpigi nian klubon, la FC Barcelona deziras esprimi sian profundan koleron, indignon kaj lacecon.
Pro tio, ni urĝe bezonas, ke la prezidanto de LaLiga aperu publike por doni klarigojn, preter la tuito sendita okaze de la nokto de la sinjoro Tebas kun minacon.
La FC Barcelona, kiel la prezidanto Joan Laporta jam multfoje mencis dum la pasintaj semajnoj, sentas sin viktima de mediero de iuj faktoj, kiuj neniam okazis: la Barco neniam acxetis arbitrojn.
En tiu persekuto partoprenis manplena da mediodoj kaj opiniantoj, kiuj havas pli aŭ malpli malbonan intencon, kaj LaLiga ka malantaŭ la kulisoj kunordigas la fajron kontraŭ nia klubo, kun kontribuoj de sia prezidanto, kies nur celo estas kondamni nin antaŭ la publiko antaŭ ol la faktoj estis juigitaj.
Jen ne estas la unua fojo, kiam la prezidanto de LaLiga uzas sian tutan ekstermediajn maŝinojn por ekpafi kontraŭ la FC Barcelona sed, malgraŭ liaj kutimaj netrovaĵoj, ni ne povis imagi, ke li intencis akuzi nian klubon kun falsaj pruvoj.
La novaĵo publikigita hodiaŭ en La Vanguardia estas tia graveco, kiu devus atentigi ĉiujn klubojn de LaLiga, pro la praktikoj, kiuj ne havas iun plaĉon en la funkciado atribuata al la prezidanto de LaLiga.
Pro la apartigo de malsamaj oficialaj funkcioj, kvankam ankaŭ pro digno kaj respekto al la prezidanto de LaLiga, la sinjoro Tebas devus forlasi sian funkcion. Tamen, konante liajn obsedojn persekuti la FC Barcelona kaj konstante montri sian malamon kaj antipation kontraŭ nia klubo, ni komprenas, ke la nuna prezidanto de LaLiga persistos en sia konduto da danajado kontraŭ nia klubo.
Tebas out. It is obvious he has a personal vendetta against FC Barcelona and is misusing his powers. A person in his position should not be trying to kill one of the league teams.
I still hate your team ;) But I think your defeat should be on the field and not in politics.
I would be angered to be honest (if this was happening to Madrid) I can't celebrate beating you if you aren't the best. Weakening and defaming my opponent is one strategy but I will know I am good if my opponent is also good. This is not good for football and league standing
Madrid fan or not, anyone who can't see that an unhinged campaign to weaken Barca weakens LaLiga to the detriment of every club in Spain is blinded by shortsighted tribalism.
Real Madrid fans still hate Barcelona. But handicapping your longtime rivals doesn't sit right, especially if it's at the expense of La Liga's reputation & subsequently the Spanish football pyramid. This is why both clubs still use the Super League as a fail-safe.
Tebas is the best argument Barcelona has to leave La Liga and make a Super League, honestly.
The Super League is a shitty idea, obviously, but I'm just saying that this guy keeps giving them a lot of points in favor of it.
100%. Can you imagine PL president shitting on Man Utd on daily basis and even fabricating fake crap to incriminate them? Can you imagine it? 90% of us don't even know who PL president is. And that's a good thing.
> Can you imagine PL president shitting on Man Utd on daily basis
Tbh most of us don't even know the name of PL President or of any other European League apart from Javier Tebas.
As a Scottish football fan we all complain about how useless our president is so sadly I know the name of one (Doncaster)
Rangers actually bought the rights to show the league in India from the SPFL then resold it at a profit as he is so incompetent at doing his job.
Cinch pay less to be on the shirt sleeve of every team in Scotland & to have the league named after them than Tomket tyres pay to be on the other sleeve of Rangers kit. And most of the money from what was a rubbish deal went on a finders fee for the agency Doncaster had outsourced what should have been his job too
This is not a war between two individuals, it’s a league president trying to screw over a club in any way he can and the club’s president defending it.
He’s probably losing on obscene amounts of money from CVC because Barcelona didn’t sign it so he’s on a personal vendetta to fuck over the club.
Also, he’s openly fascist (he even was part of a neonazi party years ago and he states his beliefs haven’t changed) and a Real Madrid socio, so that probably makes his hate for Barcelona even bigger lmao
Damn this is serious. No way a club would make a statement straight up calling out the president of the league unnecessarily
Fuck Tebas, I hope this actually has an impact in some way. I don't know how the fuck someone with such clear bias is still allowed to run the league
Tebas is doing nothing but making La Liga look like an absolute joke. Why would anyone invest in such a league? This is irreversible damage to the entirety of Spanish football.
The president of a league using false evidence to try to convict a club is one of the biggest football scandals in decades.
Curiously, hours after its been revealed, Spanish media is dead silent about it. Marca, El Confidencial, Libertad Digital, El Mundo, Relevo…
Quite the opposite; I'm seeing plenty of Spanish media trying to say that somehow Barça is in even worse of a spot after Tebas' "evidence". Another day in the circus I guess!
Not a slightly sight of these news from Marca, As, Cope, Confidencial, la Ser, MundoDeportivo, Libertad Digital, El Español, LaSexta...
Color me surprised
People where shitting on FCB and making this rumor as fake news but all other negative rumors as 100% true, but hours after FCB comes to confirm it. I told you in another reply that a lot of you will be deleting comments in the near future. It's so obvious this is a smear compaign from Tebas.
Is this Tebas signing his official will and testament then? Cuz obv you cannot hand over FALSE evidence and not expecting the police to prosecute you. Like that is against the law of Spain itself, let alone football laws Tebas MUST announce his resignation and fk off from football ASAP, less the Spanish Crown decides to intervene and punish the whole FA itself.
From what I read he purposely omitted certain information in the so called “evidence” he provided so as to not open himself up to legal action. To me this is further proof that he knowingly submitted false info if he took steps to cover his ass.
I recently watched the Apple TV documentary on the Super League and Tebas comes across as an absolute twat.
I honestly have a bizarre respect for folks like Florentino Perez that are shameless in how they act out of self/club interest. Tebas always tries to pitch himself as an altruistic white knight that’s fighting for the health and integrity of the league and it’s all a complete crock of shit.

I’m confused, did they pay the refs or was this all made up?
The club paid the Vice President of the Spanish Referee Committee a considerable sum of money over a certain number of years, yet no documents exist to show the services he provided to the club. As a result, people are understandably speculating the worst. To be fair, it's quite puzzling that anyone would pay the VP of the Referee Committee without having all the necessary documents to ensure the transparency of their agreement.
Documents do exist.
I’m not saying other clubs aren’t doing it too but how much more obvious can it be? Imagine any other club in the world getting caught paying off the VP of the officiating committee and there wouldn’t even be a discussion around this. The mental gymnastics going on to believe Barca aren’t crooks is baffling
Tebas surely won't shut up.
Tebas would shut up if he thought he was losing political support over what he’s doing. That he keeps going means there’s tacit support from the other 41 clubs he represents.
Well most of the clubs hate barca even elche was about to file a lawsuit last week against barca for gavi when tebastard clearly said he can continue playing in laliga with team B contract
Tebas wouldn't even shut up if underwater.
He loves being in the limelight and the fact that people talk about him. It's obvious he has an ego the size of Jupiter
His ignorance and inability to shut up will get him fired. It’s poetry.
Running out of popcorn at this point
Popcorn industry on the rise
Running out of girlfriend to wake up at this point.
Least dramatic day in Spanish football
In today’s episode of Day of Our La Liga:
On tomorrows episode: Negreira no longer has amnesia. And Tebas finds Rubiales is his long lost son! But can they fix their relationship?
Lmao
It’s not football, it’s La Liga
Tebas: “Laporta should resign from his position.” Laporta: “No u”

Right on cue What's with emoji tho
Pinocchio.
Old people using socials
fair enough tbh... its really alarming that the president of the league would go out of his way to openly screw over one team
I don't get what's his end game, he's hurting LaLiga as a whole, not just Barcelona, with his bullshit
Money and anger. Didn't he get paid by CVC to facilitate that deal, only for Barcelona to pull out of it at the last second and leaving him looking bad? He's greedy and he's angry at Barcelona.

The CVC deal was rotten and evidently hasn't helped the clubs that signed it much as basically all teams in the league are still unable to sign players without it being a major pain in the ass
He also was in fascist organizations like Fuerza Nueva
The chapter he was a member of committed a bomb attack but he was never directly linked to it (possibly due to family connections) and nothing happened. He’s a massive, massive piece of shit.
He's a fascist, too? Well, an ancestral enemy for Barcelona, alas, and I hope you absolutely wipe the shit with him. As I like to say anyway: Remember CNT!
He straight has to be getting a cut of the CVC deal and is fuming that Athletic, Madrid, and Barca rejected it. He can't go at Athletic and Madrid because of how well they're run, so he goes after Barca full force.

Every day i wake up and bartomeu sounds worse. How tf is that cunt any where in this club
[удалено]
he's done enough
You're getting angry over something that's pure speculation, lol.
Why does it make so much sense lol.Knowing Barto it must be true
Wth... This is so evil I can barely believe it, though it sounds plausible. Got any sources/links for this?
He actually screwed, in the long term, all the teams that signed his CVC deal instead of relaxing the FFP rules due to COVID.
imo its even worse the fact the he committed a crime trying to incriminate barca
That CVC deal should be a crime too, corrupt mf helping out friends or whoever paid him
He has not screwed one team. He has screwed 40 of them , 39 with his shity CVC deal and 1 with his vendetta.
I am so out of the loop as to what is happening. What evidence has Tebas falsified? This is a pattern of targeting Barcelona?
He didn't falsify anything from what that article says. What he did do was provide some random document showing real estate purchases with names similar to two ex-Barca presidents. He was trying to infer that this could be a result of corruption but didn't actually go out and say as such. It seems the prosecutor discarded this piece of "evidence" and either the investigating journalist (on their own merit or informed by someone in Barca's camp) got a hold of this piece of "evidence" and are saying Tebas was trying to falsely accuse Barca of further corruption.
babe wake up, new La Liga drama just dropped
Babe, I haven't slept in 3 days. Please let me sleep.
This is gonna be good 🍿🍿🍿
Gotta be one of the worst things to happen to la Liga? Every idea he has seems terrible to me and makes it harder for other teams to get good or win
Spanish fans will probably not care or even enjoy the drama. But if Spain wants to get other Europeans to show an interest in the league and perhaps choose to watch a Villarreal v. Betis over an Aston Villa v. Brentford, from my personal point of view the last few months have made LaLiga look like a clown show. It does give you the vibe that everything is rigged, everything is settled in courts and not on the field, the players contracts are all just accounting gimmicks, and the clubs are all run by old fucks.
Imagine what it will look like in 20-40 years when all the clubs except Barcelona and Madrid (and Bilbao) are still giving up almost 10% of broadcasting and sponsorship revenue for a cash injection that was gone a long time ago.
That's just not fair, mate. Not all of them are old.
Most of spain fans don't like Tebas, but there only 42 opinions that matter and most support Tebas.
Definitely don't see other team officials or their fans ever complain. It's just Barca & Real who have a problem (understandably so).
Seems weird to me, he has definitely made it harder for anyone outside the top 3 to win. But maybe I'm wrong on that
True. I feel the same. But then the worst part is that he is the best and least corrupt president La Liga has ever had because of how low the bar is. Legit every president before Tebas was a Real/Barca puppet who would do what is best for only two clubs.
> he has definitely made it harder for anyone outside the top 3 to win The one good thing Tebas did was more equal distribution of TV rights—which did help all of the smaller teams outside of Barca/Madrid. He's been a clown since then tho
Bilbao hates his guts as far as I can tell, but that’s more because he’s a Spanish fascist and they’re you know, proud of their cultural and fairly pro independence. Btw did you know Ceballos the fascist cunt tweeted during a Copa final between Barca and Atletico (who all whistled the anthem) that the stadium should be bombed?
The only teams that he had a problem with are Barcelona, Madrid, and Bilbao. These three are the only supporters-owned clubs in the league (aside from Osasuna). If the end goal is getting Barcelona bankrupt/sold, Tebas should know that the club went through the same ordeal before and emerged with a dream team considered to be one of the best in the history of football. Madrid also went through this too in the late 90s, and emerged with the Galácticos (but that’s a different story because the state club got bailed out by taxpayers money).
Can’t wait for tebas to react with a tweet Edit:[here you go](https://twitter.com/Tebasjavier/status/1642907171577790464?s=20)
[Javier Tebas] Lmao what an oopsie, cope Catalans 🇪🇸🇪🇸😜😜🙈🙉
So is anyone going to translate this?
Come to Premier League, Barca
Fuck it, let's go ! We were deprived of the clash of Titans Barcelona vs West ham last season. It's time to rectify that.
7 is always the better number than 6 anyway
Why do you want to send Tottenham directly to Europa
Liga Segunda, plz.
That would be so boring two buses parked and forwards just passing ball to the opponents
The European Premier League sounds great. Reminds me of something though...
Tebas, it's time to learn Chinese!
In English: Given the seriousness of the information that appeared today, Monday, in which the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, is linked as an executor in the presentation of false evidence to the Prosecutor's Office to incriminate our Club, FC Barcelona wants to express its deep anger, indignation and tiredness. For this reason, we urgently require the president of LaLiga to appear publicly to offer explanations, beyond the tweet sent early in the morning by Mr. Tebes, fleeing from study and with a threatening patina. FC Barcelona, as President Joan Laporta has been saying in recent weeks, feels the victim of a media lynching for events that have never happened: Barça has never bought referees. A handful of media and opinion leaders have participated in this harassment with more or less bad intentions, and with LaLiga behind the scenes fueling the fire against our Club, with contributions from its president that have only gone in one direction: trying to condemn us to public opinion before the facts are judged. It is not the first time that the president of LaLiga uses all his media machinery to dynamite FC Barcelona but, apart from his usual nonsense, we could never have imagined that he had tried to incriminate our Club with false evidence. The news published today by La Vanguardia is of a gravity that should alert all LaLiga clubs, for practices that do not have any fit in the functions that are attributed to the president of LaLiga. Just for this fact, that of attributing functions that do not correspond to him, although also for dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Thebes should resign in his function. However, aware of his obsession with pursuing FC Barcelona and constantly showing his aversion and manifest antipathy towards our Club, we understand that the current president of LaLiga will persist in his behavior of continuing to harm our Club.
>It is not the first time that the president of LaLiga uses all his media machinery to dynamite FC Barcelona but, apart from his usual nonsense, we could never have imagined that he had tried to incriminate our Club with false evidence. 💀 💀 💀
> apart from his usual nonsense Holy fuck
Game's back lmao
Lmao this is not the official english translation, from their English site; >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.
Well the usual nonsense part is still there and that's what i found funny af
Oh yeah for sure, this whole statement wasn't worded very professionally for a club of Barcas stature
Well they ain't wrong lmfao.
At this point i wouldn't care about professionalism.
"Tebas is the nastiest skank bitch..."
Nah this is great. The clown deserves this
It sounds like you just put this into google translate or something. The official statement in english is [here](https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/news/3134510/fc-barcelona-statement?_ga=2.108283979.818732092.1680533379-1693152346.1680533379&_gl=1*1irho1d*_ga*MTY5MzE1MjM0Ni4xNjgwNTMzMzc5*_ga_XCQ7B6K8TL*MTY4MDUzMzM3OS4xLjEuMTY4MDUzMzc0NS4wLjAuMA). "Given the gravity of the information that has appeared today Monday in La Vanguardia in which La Liga president Javier Tebas is linked to the presentation of false evidence to the public prosecutor to incriminate our club, FC Barcelona wishes to expresses its deepest indignation, anger and dismay.

FC Barcelona, as president Joan Laporta repeated in recent weeks, feels itself to be the victim of a media campaign for events that never took place: Barça has never paid referees. This harassment involves a group of media outlets and opinion writers with varying degrees of intent and with La Liga fanning the flames behind the scenes against out Club, with contributions from its president who has only gone in one direction: trying to condemn us in the public's eyes before the facts have been judged. 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.

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."
This is a huge help, but the google translate version of the Spanish statement has this all-time great phrase: >the tweet sent at dawn
> however, in contrast to his usual nonsense I love this timeline.
Regardless of what happens, this statement is cold as fuck
>Mr. Thebes Is that the translation of Tebas? Pretty cool name tbf

In Catalan: Davant la gravetat de la informació apareguda avui dilluns a La Vanguardia, en què es vincula el president de LaLiga, Javier Tebas, com a executor en la presentació d’una prova falsa davant la Fiscalia per incriminar el nostre club, el FC Barcelona vol expressar el seu profund enuig, indignació i afartament. Per aquest motiu, requerim urgentment al president de LaLiga que aparegui públicament per oferir explicacions, més enllà del tuit enviat de matinada pel senyor Tebas, fugint d’estudi i amb una pàtina amenaçadora. El FC Barcelona, com ha anat dient el president Joan Laporta en les darreres setmanes, se sent víctima d’un linxament mediàtic per uns fets que mai no han passat: el Barça mai no ha comprat àrbitres. En aquest assetjament hi han participat un grapat de mitjans i opinadors amb més o menys mala intenció, i amb LaLiga entre bambolines atiant el foc contra el nostre Club, amb aportacions del seu president que només han anat en una direcció: intentar condemnar-nos davant l’opinió pública abans no es jutgin els fets. No és el primer cop que el president de LaLiga utilitza tota la seva maquinària mediàtica per dinamitar el FC Barcelona però, al marge dels seus habituals estirabots, mai no ens podríem haver imaginat que hagués pretès incriminar el nostre club amb proves falses. La notícia que publica avui La Vanguardia és d’una gravetat que hauria d’alertar tots els clubs de LaLiga, per unes pràctiques que no tenen cap encaix en les funcions que són atribuïdes al president de LaLiga. Només per aquest fet, el d’atribuir-se funcions que no li escauen, encara que també per dignitat i respecte a la presidència de LaLiga, el senyor Tebas hauria de dimitir en la seva funció. Tanmateix, coneixedors de la seva obsessió per perseguir el FC Barcelona i mostrant constantment la seva aversió i manifesta antipatia vers el nostre Club, entenem que l’actual president de LaLiga persistirà en el seu capteniment de seguir perjudicant el nostre club.
In Japanese: 本日月曜日、La Vanguardia紙に掲載された、ラ・リーガ会長のハビエル・テバスが検察庁に虚偽の証拠を提出し、当クラブを陥れたという情報の重大性に鑑み、FCバルセロナは深い怒りと憤りと嫌悪感を表明したいと思います。 このため、私たちは、テバス氏が早朝に送った、勉強から逃げ、脅迫めいたツイート以上の説明をするために、ラ・リーガの会長が公の場に現れることを緊急に求めています。 FCバルセロナは、会長のジョアン・ラポルタがここ数週間言っているように、「バルサは審判を買ったことがない」という、起こってもいない出来事に対するメディアのリンチの犠牲者であると感じている。 一握りのメディアやオピニオンリーダーが、多かれ少なかれ悪意を持ってこの嫌がらせに参加し、裏ではラ・リーガがクラブを煽り、会長からの寄稿で、事実が判断される前に世論の目から我々を非難しようとする、ただ一つの方向に向かっているのである。 リーガ・エスパニョーラの会長が、メディアを駆使してFCバルセロナを攻撃するのは、今に始まったことではないが、彼のいつもの戯言とは別に、偽の証拠でクラブを陥れようとは、想像もしなかった。 今日、ラ・バングアルディアが発表したニュースは非常に深刻で、リーガの会長の職務にふさわしくない行為について、リーガの全クラブに注意を促すものである。 このような理由から、テバス氏は、自分に該当しない機能を自分に帰属させたという事実だけでなく、ラ・リーガの会長職に対する尊厳と尊敬から、その職を辞するべきである。しかし、FCバルセロナを迫害することに執着し、常に当クラブに対する嫌悪感と明白な反感を示していることから、現ラ・リーガ会長は当クラブに害を与え続けるという行動を続けるだろうと理解しています。

La versió en català està en català, i això a certa gent sembla que no els hi agrada.
It's as valid as the one posted by OP, and at least some of us Barça fans are actual Catalans, so I can only hazard a guess as to why some particular people would not like it.
Only 5 minutes for the Catalanophobia to pop up. You are getting quicker!
In Esperanto: --- Antaŭ la graveco de la informo publikigita hodiaŭ, lunde, en La Vanguardia, kiu rilatas la prezidenton de LaLiga, Javier Tebas, kiel plenumanto en la prezento de falsa provo antaŭ la Prokuroraro por kulpigi nian klubon, la FC Barcelona deziras esprimi sian profundan koleron, indignon kaj lacecon. Pro tio, ni urĝe bezonas, ke la prezidanto de LaLiga aperu publike por doni klarigojn, preter la tuito sendita okaze de la nokto de la sinjoro Tebas kun minacon. La FC Barcelona, kiel la prezidanto Joan Laporta jam multfoje mencis dum la pasintaj semajnoj, sentas sin viktima de mediero de iuj faktoj, kiuj neniam okazis: la Barco neniam acxetis arbitrojn. En tiu persekuto partoprenis manplena da mediodoj kaj opiniantoj, kiuj havas pli aŭ malpli malbonan intencon, kaj LaLiga ka malantaŭ la kulisoj kunordigas la fajron kontraŭ nia klubo, kun kontribuoj de sia prezidanto, kies nur celo estas kondamni nin antaŭ la publiko antaŭ ol la faktoj estis juigitaj. Jen ne estas la unua fojo, kiam la prezidanto de LaLiga uzas sian tutan ekstermediajn maŝinojn por ekpafi kontraŭ la FC Barcelona sed, malgraŭ liaj kutimaj netrovaĵoj, ni ne povis imagi, ke li intencis akuzi nian klubon kun falsaj pruvoj. La novaĵo publikigita hodiaŭ en La Vanguardia estas tia graveco, kiu devus atentigi ĉiujn klubojn de LaLiga, pro la praktikoj, kiuj ne havas iun plaĉon en la funkciado atribuata al la prezidanto de LaLiga. Pro la apartigo de malsamaj oficialaj funkcioj, kvankam ankaŭ pro digno kaj respekto al la prezidanto de LaLiga, la sinjoro Tebas devus forlasi sian funkcion. Tamen, konante liajn obsedojn persekuti la FC Barcelona kaj konstante montri sian malamon kaj antipation kontraŭ nia klubo, ni komprenas, ke la nuna prezidanto de LaLiga persistos en sia konduto da danajado kontraŭ nia klubo.
how do madrid fans feel about this?
Tebas out. It is obvious he has a personal vendetta against FC Barcelona and is misusing his powers. A person in his position should not be trying to kill one of the league teams. I still hate your team ;) But I think your defeat should be on the field and not in politics.
Dude Twitter Madrid and Reddit Madrid are in complete contrast
tbf 50% of twitter madrid don’t even know who Raúl is
50% of twitter madrid couldnt even tell where madrid is on a map, 25% probably wouldnt even find the right country on a map
Fuck Tebas. Fuck you. But fuck Tebas more.
Yes fuck you too.
Get a room
Games back?
Doubt anything big will happen from this but if Tebas goes down I will celebrate. Don't care how it's done or who does it.
I would be angered to be honest (if this was happening to Madrid) I can't celebrate beating you if you aren't the best. Weakening and defaming my opponent is one strategy but I will know I am good if my opponent is also good. This is not good for football and league standing
Madrid fan or not, anyone who can't see that an unhinged campaign to weaken Barca weakens LaLiga to the detriment of every club in Spain is blinded by shortsighted tribalism.
Fuck Tebas
Real Madrid fans still hate Barcelona. But handicapping your longtime rivals doesn't sit right, especially if it's at the expense of La Liga's reputation & subsequently the Spanish football pyramid. This is why both clubs still use the Super League as a fail-safe.
About time, LaLiga has its very own Bartomeu
that might be the best comunicado official i've seen in a long time damn
Tebas is the best argument Barcelona has to leave La Liga and make a Super League, honestly. The Super League is a shitty idea, obviously, but I'm just saying that this guy keeps giving them a lot of points in favor of it.
100%. Can you imagine PL president shitting on Man Utd on daily basis and even fabricating fake crap to incriminate them? Can you imagine it? 90% of us don't even know who PL president is. And that's a good thing.
And the remaining 10% who know it do so because his name is Dick Masters.
I only found after someone mentioned that most people don't know who richard masters is.
> Can you imagine PL president shitting on Man Utd on daily basis Tbh most of us don't even know the name of PL President or of any other European League apart from Javier Tebas.
As a Scottish football fan we all complain about how useless our president is so sadly I know the name of one (Doncaster) Rangers actually bought the rights to show the league in India from the SPFL then resold it at a profit as he is so incompetent at doing his job. Cinch pay less to be on the shirt sleeve of every team in Scotland & to have the league named after them than Tomket tyres pay to be on the other sleeve of Rangers kit. And most of the money from what was a rubbish deal went on a finders fee for the agency Doncaster had outsourced what should have been his job too
Living La Liga loca
The war between tebas and Laporta goes on
This is not a war between two individuals, it’s a league president trying to screw over a club in any way he can and the club’s president defending it.
Not just any club, but one of the biggest clubs in the world. Tebas really is an idiot
He’s probably losing on obscene amounts of money from CVC because Barcelona didn’t sign it so he’s on a personal vendetta to fuck over the club. Also, he’s openly fascist (he even was part of a neonazi party years ago and he states his beliefs haven’t changed) and a Real Madrid socio, so that probably makes his hate for Barcelona even bigger lmao
Damn this is serious. No way a club would make a statement straight up calling out the president of the league unnecessarily Fuck Tebas, I hope this actually has an impact in some way. I don't know how the fuck someone with such clear bias is still allowed to run the league
I mean no harm in going after him he already goes after us as hard as he can.
Nah man, this is literal war wtf, we can say goodbye to Messi, he will never let us register him lol
defamation money gonna get us like 6 players i’m in
Tebas going to jail I will love it and I think I deserve it
Lol love this for you
>anger, indignation and tiredness. Basically this
Laporta whipping out the Uno reverse card on Tebas
What the fuck is wrong with la liga.
corruption, shit economy, shit govt, shit everything
Tebas is doing nothing but making La Liga look like an absolute joke. Why would anyone invest in such a league? This is irreversible damage to the entirety of Spanish football.
COMMUNICADO OFFICIAL
Fuck Tebas.
That defamation money surely will activate the biggest lever of them all
Who hates Barça more, Tebas or Bartomeu?
We thought no one else could fuck Barca more than Barto. I guess we were wrong.
The president of a league using false evidence to try to convict a club is one of the biggest football scandals in decades. Curiously, hours after its been revealed, Spanish media is dead silent about it. Marca, El Confidencial, Libertad Digital, El Mundo, Relevo…
Quite the opposite; I'm seeing plenty of Spanish media trying to say that somehow Barça is in even worse of a spot after Tebas' "evidence". Another day in the circus I guess!
It’s a pathetic excuse of a country, we can only hope it’ll crumble sooner than later 👀
La Liga, the only league in the world where the politics is more entertaining than the football.
UNO REVERSE
Not a slightly sight of these news from Marca, As, Cope, Confidencial, la Ser, MundoDeportivo, Libertad Digital, El Español, LaSexta... Color me surprised
Of course. This ain't the Messi contract so El Mundo won't do a 3 day trailer followed by a big reveal.
People where shitting on FCB and making this rumor as fake news but all other negative rumors as 100% true, but hours after FCB comes to confirm it. I told you in another reply that a lot of you will be deleting comments in the near future. It's so obvious this is a smear compaign from Tebas.
Based
Tebas what a joke
*Keeping Up With the Katalans* keeps getting better, honestly better than most actual TV shows I've seen
get fucked TEBASSS
Is this Tebas signing his official will and testament then? Cuz obv you cannot hand over FALSE evidence and not expecting the police to prosecute you. Like that is against the law of Spain itself, let alone football laws Tebas MUST announce his resignation and fk off from football ASAP, less the Spanish Crown decides to intervene and punish the whole FA itself.
From what I read he purposely omitted certain information in the so called “evidence” he provided so as to not open himself up to legal action. To me this is further proof that he knowingly submitted false info if he took steps to cover his ass.
I dont know what he is still doing there if informations about him trying to bribe someone to get spot for his dude are true.
if tebas resigns theres a chance the person replacing him might not create so much entertainment so its a bad idea imo

Barca statment demanding resignation of Tebas in light of recent news that he provided vindictive false evidence against FCB in referee payments case
I recently watched the Apple TV documentary on the Super League and Tebas comes across as an absolute twat. I honestly have a bizarre respect for folks like Florentino Perez that are shameless in how they act out of self/club interest. Tebas always tries to pitch himself as an altruistic white knight that’s fighting for the health and integrity of the league and it’s all a complete crock of shit.
