'Must be like this': Laporta confirms he went to Tebas' house, reveals what they did there

Joan Laporta says that the relationship between him and La Liga president Javier Tebas has been restored after he paid the La Liga chief a visit.

"The viability plan is approved, but it must be complied with," the Barca president said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo.

"And I want to make it clear that we were going to comply with it even if La Liga did not force us to do so. The club needs it, but it has been good that La Liga shared it with us, we accept the regulations.

"Institutional relations with La Liga and personal relations between Tebas and myself have been redone. Must be like this."

Laporta then went on to describe his meeting with Tebas: "Let's see, what there is is a very good relationship. I took the step, we met at his house, in a very nice and quiet place in Huesca.

"We were able to have a calm, casual conversation without priorities. Javier Tebas is very vehement, with a lot of character, and I also have my way of being, but we have many points of commonality and I feel comfortable with him as well as with the president of the RFEF [Spanish FA], Rubiales.

"I think that as president of Barça it has to be like that."

So what are the conditions for the Catalans now? Laporta says: "We are not going to have privileges, Mr. Thebes is not of this kind.

"He is going to make the institutional relationship flow, we have generated trust and we have maintained our trust. We have to accept the rules of financial fair play, which are very strict."
