Javier Tebas: I will not apologise to FC Barcelona for the conflict

Asked about his criticism of Barcelona, he regretted “a lot” that “this has happened with the club” but will not say sorry

Javier Tebas spoke about his recent conflict with FC Barcelona and says he will not ask forgiveness from the Catalans. Asked about his criticism of Barcelona, he regretted “a lot” that “this has happened with the club” but says he will not stop in “the fight for clean play”.

“It hurts me morally, I don’t like my situation, but I cannot ask forgiveness because I am a hypocrite, but it hurts me because my stand against violence is very clear. It’s unjust that Bartomeu, Rosell and Neymar are being charged.”

Barcelona have railed against La Liga’s president after he complained about the behaviour of their players when Valencia fans threw objects at them.
