La Liga announced this Wednesday an agreement with investment fun CVC to inject 2.7 billion euros. However, Javier Tebas has found himself against the firm opposition of Real Madrid and Barcelona, 'El Mundo' explained.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have united as opposition to La Liga. At least that is what 'El Mundo' have confirmed, as they report that the two clubs are against the competition's agreement with investment fund CVC.

La Liga made public the agreement with said investment said this Wednesday, with 15 votes in favour and none against the Executive Committee obtaining a credit worth 2.7 billion euros. However, less than 24 hours later, it has found itself confronted with the strong opposition of the league's two strongest clubs.

'El Mundo' explains that both Real Madrid and Barca were surprised at the new deal. "Both ourselves and Barcelona have found out about this deal through the media, despite it playing with our own rights". The same source told the newspaper that La Liga made said deal without taking into account any of the teams, and that they will try to ensure that such an agreement does not succeed.

'El Mundo' have indicated that the opposition of the two clubs, in the context of an economic crisis, comes down to the duration of the agreement between La Liga and CVC, which amounts to the next 40 years. They therefore assure that both Real Madrid and Barcelona would lose money both in the medium and long term. All of which with the approval all the clubs in the first and second division. 

Thus, La Liga finds itself up against two strong opponents less than a day after making public the agreement which will donate the competition some 2.7 billion euros.
