La Liga teams' economic situation

"We strive to ensure that the debt is sustainable and prevent the club from going bankrupt. In Spain, we are signing great players and keeping them, just like Barcelona's Yamal."

'La Liga Promotion' program and CVC are trying to solve this problem. We have achieved growth, but there is still a lot of room for growth. ”

Aren't they fans? I have said many times that it is not the TV station that pays us, but the fans who subscribe to the service. ”

Be proud of youth training

Our percentage is 20%, while the Premier League is only 6%. Compared to other events, the status quo of the Spanish League and its clubs is proud. ”
