The president of the La Liga, Javier Tebas, admits he's a Real Madrid fan.

Tebas has confirmed his Real support ahead of the El Clasico against Barcelona.

He told AS: "If I say the contrary, that I support neither, then that would be hypocritical and I would be tainted as a liar.

"And I certainly don't like to be called a liar. Imagine if I said that I loved all teams, and then it came out that I supported Madrid since I was a lad, went to 27 'Clásicos' in the past, that I celebrated Madrid wins with friends in a bar... I prefer to call it as it is.

"We've invited all the directors from our international rights partners to watch the game. We've also launched an event in central Madrid and that's where I plan to be. I'm keen to see how Telefónica and Mediapro prepare ahead of a game like this. If I get enough time, I'll go to the stadium. But I'll b there in a working capacity, trying to improve the product we offer."
