The president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, again showed where his club loyalties lie, firmly in the Real Madrid camp.

"Barcelona played really well. They played some great football and were better than Real Madrid. They wanted it more. As a Real Madrid fan, it was a tough game. I told my kids, who were at the game, that they'd seen a bit of footballing history because you don't lose 4-0 at home very often. That's just football. Let's hope that Real Madrid can bounce back quickly", he told the media.
