Spanish outlet Relevo reports that Barcelona player Fermín López recently watched a La Liga match through pirated channels. Although La Liga president Tebas is extremely angry about this, they have no power to sanction the players’ actions.
During the Valencia vs. Barcelona match, Barcelona player Fermín López uploaded a live stream of the match on his social media platform, accompanied by the caption “Come on guys,” and tagged Barcelona’s official account. He later deleted the post.
The post was quickly seen by La Liga president Tebas, who expressed his extreme anger. Combating pirated streaming is one of the main focuses of the La Liga Association, and the proliferation of piracy would significantly impact La Liga’s television broadcast revenue.
After investigation, it was revealed that Fermín’s actions were not related to the Barcelona club. However, the La Liga Association will inform Barcelona of their concerns about what happened to prevent similar incidents from occurring again. Apart from the various institutions commenting on the situation, in fact, La Liga has no power to sanction Fermín’s actions. They can only complain to the competition committee, which seems unlikely at this time.
