Jude Bellingham’s form at Real Madrid has boosted La Liga’s popularity in the United Kingdom, Javier Tebas has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Bellingham has shown how an Englishman can be an important player for a big club in a new league, and English fans are loving his exploits in Spain.
Tebas added that the EPL is still the bigger league, but Jude is proof that La Liga can still attract the best players.
His words, “It’s only been a few months, it’s too soon to know the full extent, but in the viewing levels in the UK Bellingham is having a big impact in our league.
He’s an important player and the United Kingdom and other English-speaking areas are attracted to our league because of him. Bellingham is a top player, we knew he was a great player but we didn’t realise the level he could reach, at Real Madrid it’s like he’s from a different planet.
We have got the best player in Europe who is English. We can’t compare the two countries. Obviously the Premier League is bigger but the best player in Europe is playing in Spain. So we have the choice to get the best players to come to Spain.”
WOW.
