Spanish FA request La Liga to have fewer matches and more El Clasicos
The president of the Spanish FA, Luis Rubiales, has requested for huge La Liga reformation by claiming that there should be fewer matches but to increase the number of El Clasico matches.
Rubiales claimed that the Spanish game have to endure a period of evolution to preserve its relevance in European terms and to combat the possibility of a breakaway European Super League – which is rejected by the Spanish FA.

Real Madridnews has supported such a breakaway structure, but there is solid opposition from the leagues, FAs, and from FIFA and UEFA to the proposals.
Rubiales announced:
“Football is evolving, and UEFA have to be the ones charged with that evolution.”
“Yes, big clubs need to play games because they attract huge audiences, but I hope the Super League doesn’t happen. That means leagues need to think about how to reduce the number of games that are played.
“We’ve (in Spain) got a league with 38 games, and reform can only be done in two ways: either you reduce the number of sides in the league or you change the format.
“Clubs won’t want to reduce the number of teams in the division, so you must look for other formats – lets say 33 rounds of matches and perhaps more than two Clasicos played.
“We can sit down and talk about this with La Liga and the dreams of (league president, Javier) Tebas.
“I am an optimist that there will not be a breakaway European Super League from UEFA.”
