”I don’t miss the ‘Galacticos’ or want it back. I don’t want Real Madrid to buy what they want easily. We have to adapt to the situation in the industry today. We want a balanced competition.”

“We have to analyze why this Super League appeared. If we have to improve the governance of the sport, for example. The system we have sometimes benefits the big teams more and a better balance has to be found,”
