"the institutions that govern European football, those who appeal to the integrity of the competition, who put pressure on referees and rulers,"
"those who have been constructing distorted narratives for years or using political and media pressure as a sporting tool."
"I would like to thank Villarreal CF and FC Barcelona for their commitment and generosity in being part of a project that sought only to grow our competition. "They weren't thinking about themselves, they were thinking about everyone,""
The Villarreal vs Barcelona match scheduled for December 20 in Miami was cancelled after organiser Relevent withdrew, citing "uncertainty generated in Spain." Javier Tebas responded on X by accusing the institutions that govern European football and implicating Real Madrid in exerting pressure on referees and shaping distorted narratives through political and media influence. Tebas praised Villarreal CF and FC Barcelona for their commitment and generosity in supporting the project. Tebas described the cancellation as a lost opportunity for Spanish football to advance, project itself globally and strengthen its future, criticizing appeals to a closed, provincial view of "tradition."
