Today, Spanish football has lost an opportunity to advance, project itself globally, and strengthen its future. The ‘integrity of the competition’ is cited by those who have spent years questioning that very integrity, pressuring referees and administrators, constructing distorted narratives or using political and media pressure as sporting tools.
La Liga players protested the staging of matches outside Spain during the ninth round. They did not play during the first seconds after the matches started.
