The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, acknowledged his Real Madrid supporting roots and his predilection for Karim Benzema at the Panini trading card launch on Tuesday.
"Benzema or [Robert] Lewandowski?" he was asked. "I'm Madrid so I prefer Benzema."
Tebas, who has been especially critical of Barça's economic situation, also spoke publicly about Mbappé, who he believed would arrive in Madrid this summer: "After a tremendous year we had room for Mbappé."
The LaLiga chief also gave his opinion on the comparison between LaLiga and the Premier League: "LaLiga is undervalued, we are quite happy with the [transfer window].
