But whether or not they have the financial capacity to do so is a big question mark.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interaction, La Liga chief Javier Tebas has addressed all these concerns surrounding Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>What Tebas said about Barcelona<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the media at the ADESP annual gala, Tebas first addressed the possibility of Barcelona wrapping up the title in the Clasico against Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like leagues that are decided in the last league match. Therefore, I\u2019d prefer it not to be in the Clasico, but well, it seems things are pointing that way, and if that\u2019s the case, then whoever wins is welcome,\u201d he said (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sport.es\/es\/noticias\/barca\/tebas-prefiero-aliron-laliga-barca-129637360\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Diario SPORT<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"699\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fbl-esp-liga-racism-vinicius-4-1024x699.jpg\" alt=\"javier tebas\" class=\"wp-image-135117\"  \/>Javier Tebas says Barcelona must do more to return to 1:1 rule  (Photo by OSCAR DEL POZO\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>On Barcelona\u2019s ability to sign high-profile players such as Julian Alvarez, Tebas confirmed that the club need much more to do on the financial fair play front. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they still have work to do. They have to work; here, Financial Fair Play regulations start on July 1st. No team can be Financial Fair Play compliant today because they can\u2019t sign players,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, on Barcelona\u2019s points tally this season, Tebas admitted he wants a title fight that is closer, rather than the champion team hauling all the points. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I don\u2019t like is that it\u2019s too many points for a championship. Real Madrid and Atletico de Madrid have lost a lot of points; they\u2019re below their usual average. I don\u2019t like La Liga with more than 90 points, and that\u2019s the reality,\u201d he concluded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With just five matches remaining until the end of the season, Barcelona are in pole position to secure&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,222,223,8156,8094],"class_list":["post-13709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-financial-fair-play","tag-javier-tebas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
