The soccer community seems to be divided at the moment following the European Court of Justice‘s recent ruling. With the ECJ ruling in Super League‘s favor, UEFA does not seem too happy with the decision. La Liga boss Javier Tebas seems to mirror UEFA’s feelings, expressing his views on the matter while not hesitating to take a dig at the entire idea.
This is not the first time Tebas has been critical of the Super League. Just minutes after the court’s verdict, the La Liga president took shots at A22 CEO Bernd Reichart, calling him ‘drunk’ for his idea to broadcast the league to free for the fans.

A22 has to be on cloud nine following the company’s big win over UEFA and FIFA. With the European Court of Justice ruling in the Super League’s favor, A22 CEO Bernd Reichart stated that soccer is now free of monopoly and the Super League will be free for everyone.
Tebas was quick to reply to the statement as he took to his official X handle claiming, “For the sake of clarity, so that there are no doubts and no one mistakenly goes to reopen the bar to drink drinks until 5 am as Bern Reichart CEO seems to have been tonight.”
