The president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, said the European Club Association does not represent the best interests of domestic leagues as he helped to launch a union that will aim to “give a voice” to more than 1,000 clubs across the continent.
Representatives from five English clubs – Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Watford – were in Brussels on Monday for an event to mark the establishment of the Union of European Clubs, which clubs from 25 countries have expressed interest in joining.
