There are still five matches left to decide La Liga. Barcelona<\/a> are 11 points ahead of Real Madrid<\/a> with everything going their way. That has raised the possibility of a guard of honor, as El Cl\u00e1sico is coming soon. La Liga president Javier Tebas addressed the topic during a public event.<\/p>\n

Tebas said: \u201cThe rules don\u2019t say anything about the guard of honor; it\u2019s a tradition and traditions depend on the clubs. There isn\u2019t a rule that establishes it. Tradition says you should do it for the champion, but it must be decided by the players and the club, Real Madrid. But there aren\u2019t champions yet. You are saying it too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is something to keep an eye on, with the two giants set to meet on May 10. The title could be decided this weekend if Barcelona beat Osasuna and Real Madrid fail to beat Espanyol. If that does not happen, the champions could be decided when they meet in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Tebas on criticism from Real Madrid<\/p>\n

At the Red de Ciudades de La Liga event, held at the headquarters of the Federaci\u00f3n de Municipios y Provincias, Tebas also addressed criticism from Real Madrid president Florentino P\u00e9rez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This difference in views has been going on for years, with P\u00e9rez presenting his club as the victim in some situations while the league president has responded with blunt comments of his own.<\/p>\n

Tebas said: \u201cI\u2019m not surprised by Real Madrid. They don\u2019t like anything that involves coordinated action from all the clubs as a group. That\u2019s not how they view professional soccer. Real Madrid don\u2019t share that concept. I\u2019ve heard their president say many times that La Liga is Real Madrid with 19 other teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tebas on racism<\/p>\n

The La Liga president said the goal of the meeting was to fight racism, as there have been many recent incidents, including fans and players from the national team being affected by it.<\/p>\n

Tebas said: \u201cThe goal was to prevent this type of chants and behavior that exist in society and in sport. With this alliance between the cities that have professional soccer, we can create many strategies that will help us reduce this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are still five matches left to decide La Liga.
