Real Madrid are set to take legal action against La Liga over their new broadcasting requirements.
La Liga implemented a number of new rules this summer in order to increase fan access to the game, which included several new features. Half-time interviews, microphones listening into cooling break tactical chats and cameras in dressing rooms are some of the measures that Real Madrid agree with.
The league have incentivised clubs with a €130m pot to be awarded out to teams based on the quality of coverage and access they allow. However Real Madrid went in the opposite direction in their opening game, flaunting some of those requirements, with Carlo Ancelotti and players failing to appear for media after the match.
Ancelotti was asked about having cameras in the dressing room on Friday, and said that ‘it doesn’t make sense, it is a sacred place’, but is not alone in his distaste for them. Athletic Club goalkeeper Unai Simon said he was not comfortable with them, while Real Mallorca Manager Javier Aguirre told the press that La Liga had to prioritise other things than money.
Now, as per ABC via MD, Real Madrid are set to go to court with La Liga over these measures. Los Blancos risk missing out on up to €13m in TV money, but have requested the suspension of these requirements. It is not yet clear on what basis.
It is certainly an interesting debate. Athletic were shown ahead of their match praying, which seems like it should be a private moment for the players. However American sports often see cameras in the dressing rooms, and increasingly clubs are filming documentaries with footage from within. While no doubt the footballers and the managers care about the privacy of the dressing room, it would be no surprise if from the club’s point of view it revolved around access and content production – ultimately, money.

While Saudi Arabia FA is begging UEFA t invite a team from the Saudi Arabian league to participate in the UCL, UEFA is busy negotiating with USA FA for a competition in USA that will involve MLS and UEFA top clubs. That's the difference between when you have quality and when you have quantity.🤣🤣🤣

Yes, because Real Madrid are been carrying la liga around Europe whilst others like Barcelona are playing in group stages to terminate the value of la liga that makes la liga top 4 in Europe, so Real Madrid have every right to contribute in every rules governing la liga if the rules are not right.

Have some sense, MLS has been on air long enuff to catch UEFAs attention unlike the Saudi league which is just taking shape, thanks to a one man influence. For the record and if yu hv actively followed football, how many superstars hv played in MLS and for how long has it been for yu to start comparing it to a one year old project which came to the limelight bcz of just one man
Lol.. Boy.. It’s not sustainable. Saudi can only give you money . Ronaldo must be wishing he had joined MLS. That was long term business master stroke from Messi. Ask any successful businessman and they will say Messi trumped Ronaldo yet again lol. Apple is jot going to sponsor a Saudi league player lol 😂

Javier Aguirre (Mallorca coach): "Cameras inside the dressing rooms during matches? Not everything should be about money... In the past, La Liga was competing with the Premier League, now it seems that we are competing against Piqué's Kings League."
Don't mind those incompetent la Liga rulers
