"Real, Barca and the president of the LFP (Spanish Professional Football League), Javier Tebas, do not want to follow the distribution criteria that prevail in other countries. They do not want to lose one euro. But if we could increase the overall fee for rights, only their percentage would drop. It's still shameful that they receive between €130 million and €140 million and 80% of other clubs receive between €20 million and €30 million," said the Catalan boss in L'Equipe newspaper on the 01/11/2013.
