Craig BurleyPANELIST
... from, from, uh, Florentino Pérez to Javier Tebas of the season? 'cause we can't go a full season without Real Madrid sending a letter-
Dan ThomasHOST
[laughs]
Craig BurleyPANELIST
... that the world's against them.
Kate MasonHOST
Okay, so let's get into how some of the key stakeholders in the game are viewing this question.
Kate MasonHOST
Matt, people like La Liga President Javier Tebas have been hugely outspoken against the Premier League's dominance, and I think this summer seems to be something of a cutoff point for people who are having these concerns because it has felt so extreme.
Kate MasonHOST
Uh, what are you hearing from people in the game about how they feel this is gonna develop?
Matt SlaterGUEST
Well, to be fair to Javier, he hasn't sounded off about this particular window yet.
Mark WalenskyHOST
They're just a better run league.
Mark WalenskyHOST
Yeah, Javier Tebas is not good.
Mark WalenskyHOST
The amount of money they're throwing around.
Mark WalenskyHOST
You'll see, like, Old City, you're like, wait, they signed a guy for $65 million? What? Right, right.
Graham RuthvenGUEST
They have the two most valuable clubs in the world according to Forbes in Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Graham RuthvenGUEST
Javier Tebas, who is the, the, the chief executive of La Liga, um, very charismatic, bold figure, um, he has made a, a big effort to appeal to the American office, uh, uh, audience.
Graham RuthvenGUEST
They've got an office in New York.
Graham RuthvenGUEST
They also have been open to the idea of playing competitive matches in, in Miami in the case of La Liga.
Pedro CarmonaHOST
And what else? Everything, you know, Barca is doing in this final days of the transfer window is backed by our newly restored 1-1 financial rule.
Pedro CarmonaHOST
Having reached 1 billion in annual revenue for 2025-2026 season, Javier Tebas and La Liga have officially validated Barcelona's financial recovery.
Pedro CarmonaHOST
This means that every euro generated from the youths Sales can be directly reinvested into registering market stars like Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, and Joao Cancelo without delay.
Pedro CarmonaHOST
In past years, Barça fell into the trap of signing expensive mid-tier alternatives whenever the primary target fell through.
NickHOST
And my thought around this is as much as we can point the finger at Presa and, like I say, the way he neglects the club and the way he treats the fan base with disdain.
NickHOST
How long can La Liga and Javier Tebas let Presa get away with, you know, these kind of actions? You know, it's a blatant, you know, disregard in respect to Spanish football, Spanish professional football, top flight football.
NickHOST
As you mentioned, there is nowhere else where you'll have this kind of behaviour that wouldn't be reprimanded by points deductions, fines, anything like that.
NickHOST
here it just seems to be turn a blind eye yeah it's not great at all you know they play away to barcelona uh in match day three but in two weeks time there's still not a decision on where rio are going to be hosting their home game against wrestling santander and there's even talk of it being at el plantillo in burgos two and a half hours away from vallecas Like I said, I just can't see how people aren't dragging him over the coals or even dragging him out of the club and saying, you're not fit and proper, like you say, Paul.
Pedro CarmonaHOST
Because after scoring twice in two minutes against Basel in the debut, in, in his debut in Barcelona and at the Gamper, the 18-year-old winger Jesse BC who is making waves because having represented Belgium in the youth level, the Ghanaian Football Association is aggressively contacting his family to convince him to switch his alliance to join Ghana senior team for 2027 AFCON.
Pedro CarmonaHOST
And finally, one of the bigger pieces of news of, of the week, uh, besides Rodri, La Liga president Javier Tebas has confirmed that Barcelona is officially back operating under La Liga's 1-1 rule, financial rule exceeding, uh, one billion in revenue for last season.
Pedro CarmonaHOST
Starting today, the club is processing registration for Anthony Gordon, Karima Delamy, Rodri, and Joao Cancelo, ensuring that Hansi Flick has his complete squad eligible for Sunday's La Liga season opener against Elche.
Pedro CarmonaHOST
To wrap up today's show, let's look at what's happening at the Bernabeu following Mourinho's comments of Rodri.

NickHOST
Yeah, it feels like, especially with the attempts last year by Javier Tebas to stage, you know, one of the domestic games abroad.
NickHOST
I think it was Villarreal and Barcelona in Miami, wasn't it? Massive
Paco PollitGUEST
failure.
Paco PollitGUEST
They just spend every single summer.
Paco PollitGUEST
So that might be one of the explanations for suddenly Turkey having such a big pocket in that sense.
Paco PollitGUEST
And about your point earlier, I do believe that Spain losing the kind of... roots of the competitions that they hold is one of the biggest crimes committed by La Liga's president Javier Tebas and also back in the day by Luis Rubiales which was the Spanish Federation's president before all of the controversies surrounding him, the Jenny Hermoso Kiss and so on and Rafael Lothan coming in as the new president.
Paco PollitGUEST
I think that them trying to export La Liga's product by sending games or events abroad is not the way to go.
Kevin BrownHOST
We know the tactical and training work that goes on over there is at such a high level.
Kevin BrownHOST
So I think, as you said, it's a massive... point selling point from La Liga which I think they have been using over the last few years you know the president Tebas is repeats that a lot when he's when he talks about the financial divide between La Liga and the Premier League and to a degree he's right for the fact that most of the Spanish clubs can't compete financially with that so you have to compete in different ways and I think A lot of them have realized the way to do that is through the academy, is through producing our own players.
Kevin BrownHOST
And then if we have to sell them because the offer's too great, then we just restart the process.
Kevin BrownHOST
And I think a lot of people in Spain not just accept it, but they understand it.

Emmanuel LavogezHOST
And Kev, maybe now more on Aleti, give us an Aleti podcast and we have already mentioned a lot about them.
Emmanuel LavogezHOST
And Kev, the game against Marseille actually raised concerns for me.
Emmanuel LavogezHOST
It seems true our president Cholo has been struggling to actually find the balance he has for years.
Emmanuel LavogezHOST
That's the balance between actually playing as an elite side where you high press, but then again, you are able to recover the ball or if the press is bypassed, then you can actually set a deep bet.
