"La Liga" president Javier Tebas hopes that decisions made before this season will benefit all of Spanish football, and Madrid's "Real" club, which tried to oppose them, was rightfully put in place. The royal team fought against the decision to distribute money for television broadcasts more evenly and even tried to block it in court three times. "This season will bring even more intrigue, and that's exactly why this decision was necessary. 'Real' does not want to understand this and by opposing 'La Liga' they are only harming themselves," Tebas said. In the last 12 seasons of the Spanish championship, "Barcelona" triumphed 8 times, "Real" 3 times, and Madrid's "Atletico" only once interfered in the fight. "These sums will have almost no impact on Barcelona and the royal club, but other teams can spread their wings. Both 'Atletico' and 'Villarreal' as well as 'Sevilla' teams will grow," Tebas said. The president also revealed TV viewer ratings. "Last year in Spain, 'Real' matches were watched by 25.5% of football fans, while 'Barcelona' - by 16.9%. Meanwhile, the statistics from abroad are more favorable to Catalans - 25.6% versus 21.9%," Tebas said.
