Javier Tebaspresident of LaLiga, spoke on the sidelines of an event on Classic of tonight and other current affairs: “Our hope is that we only talk about football, as always, in the Clasico as in all the other days. We try to ensure that there are no accidents, violence, insults and in most cases this doesn’t happen. Let’s hope the match is calm, to be enjoyed or suffered depending on the result.”
Match in the United States this year: “I don’t know, I hope so. We’ll see. It doesn’t depend on us, but on the circumstances. Things have changed, FIFA would authorize
an official match of the Spanish La Liga in the USA. You will need to follow some steps. I haven’t spoken directly to the clubs but I know they have always been interested in playing in the United States. I don’t think they will change their minds.”
Vinicius Golden Ball: “I think he should win it, not just for the last match. Last season was exceptional and he deserves it.”
Prediction for Barcelona-Real: “Barça is in a great moment, but Real Madrid’s second half in the Champions League, their DNA… Anything can happen. For sporting reasons, Barcelona are favourites, but it will be one of the biggest challenges open doors I’ve seen lately.”
