Andorra FC owner Pique: Reduce LaLiga to 14 teams

Andorra FC owner Gerard Pique says the LaLiga needs to be reduced.

The Barcelona great argues there are too many games being played in a season.

He said, "In the end, the sport is moving towards shorter and more unique competitions. The clear example is the NLF, there are four months of competition and the country is paralysed. You have record ratings. I think football should go in that direction.

"We need all the organisations to get together and say: 'it's not possible for there to be 80 games in a year.' There are too many games and people don't even know what is being played. And then on a sporting level the level drops.

"We would need a calendar with fewer matches which would however be more competitive. Instead of leagues with 20 teams, move to 16 or even 14."
