Barcelona issue response to Tebas' Article 155 comment
The Catalan club want the LFP chief to focus on his job
Barcelona have responded to La Liga president Javier Tebas after his controversial comments about applying Article 155 in the Copa del Rey final at the Wanda Metropolitano. Barça's response was strong.
Through their spokesman Josep Vives, the Catalan club have asked Tebas to abstain from making these type of comments and to focus on doing his own job in a Liga.
"His comments are unacceptable and inappropriate from someone who represents every club," Vives said. "We ask that he abstains from making these type of comments and focuses on his work.
"We demand that he focuses on what he know how to do: the economic and commercial organisation [of La Liga] which benefits every team.
"And that he absolutely abstains from making comments like this, which are not in reference to his competition, nor do they help to generate a good atmosphere for the Copa del Rey final."
