Getty Images | “His letter telling other clubs to stay away was obviously not very successful, because they all came,” joked Javier Tebas, who was host today in Madrid when European Leagues, the body that represents more than 900 clubs in Europe, met. Tebas was refering to the letter send out from ECA President Andrea Agnelli, representing the biggest clubs in Europe, who encouraged the ECA-members to stay away from todays meeting.

Javier Tebas says that La Liga has studied a legal challenge for three years and believes a court case “could prosper”.

244 clubs attended European Leagues meeting to discuss their concerns.
