Barcelona could file motion to suspend La Liga President Javier Tebas over infraction
Barcelona President Joan Laporta delivered on last week's promise to respond to La Liga's public statement about their salary limit situation, as the Blaugrana released a forceful statement on their behaviour. The consequences may not end there either.

With the two institutions battling over the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, which La Liga appealed yesterday, Barcelona emitted a statement announcing they would be stepping back from La Liga's delegate commission. They also 'required' La Liga to halt public communication about the club's finances, and accused the league of inciting a campaign of misinformation against Barcelona. In their statement, they cite the breach of a confidentiality clause in La Liga's rules too.

Now, President of CENAFE (Centre for the Education of Coaches) Miguel Angel Galan has published on his social media account that Barcelona are considering filing for the suspension of La Liga President Javier Tebas as a result. The Administrative Tribunal for Sports have already fined Tebas for a previous infraction after a case was brought by Real Madrid.
Galan continues on to say that as it was a second infraction against the sports law, it could result in Tebas' suspension from office should Barcelona file a motion against him. He also includes the fact that in previous cases, it resulted in the sacking of former Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) President Angel Maria Villar, the suspension of ex-RFEF President Luis Rubiales, and ex-interim President Pedro Rocha of the same organisation, at Galan's hand.
Whether Barcelona do decide to go all out against Tebas is another matter. Despite frequent battles over their salary limit situation in recent years, relations between Laporta and Tebas are reportedly good, with each understanding that publicly the pair must defend their position. Should they decide to do so, Barcelona would no doubt take into account whom Tebas' successor is likely to be and what that might mean for their relations with La Liga going forward.

Germany coach urges Barca and Flick for clarity over Ter Stegen
Germany's goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen reacts after France's second goal during the UEFA Nations League soccer match between Germany and France at Stuttgart Arena. Marijan Murat/dpa Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has called on Barcelona and their coach Hansi Flick to clarify the situation of his goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen amid reports he may be sold by the Spanish champions. Ter Stegen has been at Barca since 2014 and has a contract until 2028. Spanish reports have suggested that Barca plan a change between the posts which could be bad news for the 33-year-old. Advertisement Ter Stegen was sidelined for most of the past season with a severe knee injury. He is now back for club and country, returning for Germany at the Nations League finals where they lost the semi-final 2-1 against Portugal and the match for third place 2-0 on Sunday against France, where Ter Stegen made several big saves. Nagelsmann suggested post-match that Flick, who was his predecessor as Germany coach, should help clear up the situation. "Because of the past of some of the protagonists and their connection to the national team and also to him, I'd kind of like him to get some information about what happens next," Nagelsmann said. Advertisement Nagelsmann he didn't know how much was true in the reports but that he has talked with Ter Stegen about this "very sensitive issue." He said it was not up to him to say what others are supposed to do but rather of "a wish I have for Marc. But he doesn't need to worry too much about his sporting future, wherever that may be. 'If you look at it completely unbiased he has a contract and is an outstanding goalkeeper. Marc has shown that to everyone. That's why he can go into the situation relatively relaxed." But Nagelsmann also said it was also only human for Ter Stegen to be concerned "when you don't get any information on how things will continue."

La Liga superstar reluctant to join Arsenal or Chelsea this summer
Arsenal have already all-but completed a deal to sign Martin Zubimendi, but he may not be the only La Liga player to make the move to north London this summer. They also have a strong interest in Nico Williams, but their chances of signing him during the transfer window looks to have reduced. Williams continues to be one of Athletic Club's star players, but because of this, he has attracted significant interest. Barcelona failed to sign him last summer, and 12 months, new names have entered the running – specifically, there has been interest shown from Arsenal, Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Nico Williams wants to stay in La Liga But the chances that any of those teams gets a deal done this summer are looking slim. As per Sport, Williams is reluctant to move outside of Spain, despite the fact that Arsenal and Chelsea would both be willing to activate the release clause in his Athletic contract. Imave via Marca / Ricardo Larreina Despite rejecting Barcelona last summer, Williams has an interest in joining the La Liga champions in 2025. But unfortunately for the Spain international, they are not considering him as an option at this stage, with Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford being the club's primary left wing targets. Advertisement At this stage, the most likely scenario is that Williams signs a new contract with Athletic. His current deal expires in 2027, so there has been increased jeopardy about his future. But if Barcelona (or Real Madrid) do not come calling, there is a good chance that the 22-year-old extends his stay in Bilbao. Should he do this, Athletic would look to significantly increase the value of his release clause, which currently stands at €60m. If this happens, the chances of a future transfer would decrease by a considerable amount, considering that Los Leones very rarely negotiate the sales of their star players.

Tuchel insists ‘no harm done' by honest criticism of England win over Andorra
'I am the first one to ask if we could do better,' Thomas Tuchel told reporters at the post-match press conference. 'I am the first one to ask if we could do better,' Thomas Tuchel told reporters at the post-match press conference. Photograph: Eric Alonso/UEFA/Getty Images Thomas Tuchel has said his England players must accept his straight-talking criticisms if they are to advance to World Cup glory. The manager did not hold back after the lacklustre performance in the 1-0 qualifying win against Andorra in Barcelona on Saturday, questioning their attitude and body language. The result followed wins against Albania and Latvia at Wembley in March during Tuchel's first camp and means England have maximum points in Group K. They have also kept three clean sheets. Advertisement Related: England were dismal against minnows Andorra but it really doesn't matter | Jonathan Wilson Tuchel, however, was not shy about highlighting what he did not like against Andorra, which included how the players came to do their own things after they could not blow the tie open, a freestyle approach that led to an overall aimlessness. The travelling England fans also booed the team off at half-time and full time and they will want to see a significant improvement in the friendly against Senegal in Nottingham on Tuesday night. Tuchel said: 'What risk [in calling the players out]? What should I say? That we played a good match and are happy. The risk is only that you exaggerate it and make something of it that was not there. Everything I said I said already to the team. There is no harm done. We were not happy and no single player will be happy with what we showed. Why would the coach be? And why would we be shy of saying so? If we want to get better, we first need to address that we were not happy with the end of both halves. Advertisement 'I didn't name a single name. We do this as a team. Its always a 'we' and I didn't like how we ended the match and the way we ended the first half. I didn't like the attitude or the energy level and how that dropped. I liked the beginning [of the game]. It always includes me. 'This is a top group. I love the players. I love their character. They know that they underperformed. There is not a big thing in it. We know we underperformed and we are open about it and they are eager to do it better. We will now show them exactly what we want from them and how to it better in the video session tomorrow and the day after.' Tuchel was asked what he had done wrong. 'I don't know … we still won a World Cup qualifier. I am the first one to ask if we could do better. I felt us well prepared and I felt us good in the first 25 minutes. I don't really understand why we let the game slip away from us. 'It was OK at the start of the second half, we scored [through Harry Kane in the 50th minute] and we got a little bit like: 'Nothing will happen.' I would choose the same lineup again because that was my choice on what we saw and what we believed. I thought it was a very strong lineup.' Advertisement Tuchel was frustrated at the lack of dynamic running off the ball; how his players repeatedly settled for passes into feet. As for the body language, he has made great play of the need for positive interactions between teammates, good communication and even things like high fives. That did not happen. Tuchel made the point that Kane was 'one of the very few who stepped up and put a shift in at the end when things got a bit stuck and uncomfortable'. The German is not about to worry, even if there is the prospect of his honeymoon period in the job coming to an end. 'I always feel pressure as I am not happy with myself,' he said. 'The biggest pressure comes from myself. We have three wins and three clean sheets and we have a friendly match on Tuesday. I have felt more pressure than that. Are England managers judged differently? Fair enough. I am always ready for that.'
