La Liga Chief Calls Out Real Madrid Star Over "Piracy"
Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior is in hot water with La Liga president Javier Tebas after the Brazilian star was found watching a Champions League match through an unauthorized stream.
Junior, who was sidelined with a left leg injury and unable to participate in the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid, shared a glimpse of the game on his social media channels. The footage was reportedly accessed through yet-to-be-identified means, leading to accusations of piracy from Tebas.
In a candid interview with Relevo, Tebas voiced his frustration. "If I were in Madrid, and believe I was in Madrid, it is piracy," he declared. "Access to the content of the Champions League in Spain has to be through Movistar. To view this content, one would have to use a VPN or satellite dish from elsewhere. This active behavior must be outside of Movistar’s domain… I pirated the game. We communicate so that they do not pirate the game," he explained.
Tebas, highlighting the ongoing battle against unauthorized streaming, revealed that combating piracy has absorbed a significant chunk of his time as la Liga president. "I have spent 60% of my time fighting piracy," he confessed.
This incident reignites the debate surrounding the accessibility and affordability of premium sports content. With subscription costs rising and regional broadcasting rights creating barriers, the temptation to seek alternative viewing avenues is growing.
As Tebas seeks to maintain order and protect broadcasting agreements, incidents like this raise concerns about the future of live sports viewing and the measures necessary to ensure both broadcasters and fans can access sanctioned content.
