LaLiga president Tebas: Barcelona Negreira case keeps me up at night

LaLiga president Javier Tebas admits Barcelona's Negreira case keeps him "up at night".

Tebas says the entire affair hurts the reputation of the La Liga.

"It keeps me awake at night because it is the most serious reputational and competition integrity issue that has ever happened in the history of football. I insist it is the most serious integrity concern that Spanish football has faced. I don't sleep well with this issue," said the La Liga president.

On Barça's reaction, Tebas asserted that "they convey calmness, but they convey it to everyone, to their fans... We need explanations. I think they should be worried. You have to recall what happened on the first day. Within an hour and a half of the news being released, Barcelona issued a note saying that everyone did it. From then on, there were no explanations. They shouldn't be calm with what is going on, they shouldn't be calm."

As for the case being time-barred, the La Liga president added that "it is an apparent problem. It is a problem for us because in terms of the reputation we would have taken measures like in the 'Osasuna case' and a few months ago the people who presided over it ended up in jail, also like the club in my city for a betting case... We have to act quickly".
