Barca, Real Madrid and Athletic's measures against CVC deal denied

The measures filed by Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Athletic Club against the La Liga Impulso-CVC project have not come to fruition. The Madrid Provincial Court today notified La Liga of the rejection of the precautionary measures requested to stop the project. This is the third time that the court has denied the adoption of the precautionary measures, as this request was made as an appeal by the three clubs against the order of the Court of First Instance, which had denied it.

La Liga has forwarded on the decision of the Madrid Provincial Court in an official statement: 

"The Provincial Court "ratifies the inexistence both of the appearance of good right, and the inexistence of danger in default", i.e. neither of the two presuppositions for the adpación of a precautionary measure.

"The same Statutes of La Liga, contemplate the possibility that third parties outside LaLiga may participate in the commercial activities of LaLiga, with the latter having full capacity for self-organisation with regard to its private legal sphere of action", the order also adds.

It is worth noting that the Provincial Court has ordered Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Athletic Club to pay the costs of the proceedings.

La Liga gave their thoughts:

"La Liga welcomes the ruling, which once again ratifies the legitimacy of the clubs' agreement with CVC, which has the support of 38 signatory clubs, and has allowed these clubs to plan investments, without public aid, which otherwise would have been unaffordable and which will accelerate the growth of the clubs in 20 years in terms of investment, infrastructure, internationalisation and professionalisation, among others". 

"Once again La Liga regrets the selfish stance of the plaintiff clubs who insist on putting the brakes on a project to which 38 clubs have adhered, plus the four promoted this season, which is a joint project that benefits everyone and which has been imitated by the professional leagues of Italy, France and Germany, who have seen in the project led by LaLiga an inspiration to stimulate their own growth." 

"La Liga trusts that despite repeated attempts by an interested minority, the courts will continue to resolve in favour of the common benefit inherent in a project such as La Liga Impulso, which involves the investment of 2,000 million euros in professional football, with the consequent growth for the sporting and regional ecosystem of the clubs' areas of influence".
