“I am a lawyer,” Tebas was quoted as saying by the BBC after he spoke on the Financial Times Business of Football Conference.

“If someone came out of a legal case innocent there is nothing else to say. He is doing really well as a player and I hope he continues to stay in Spanish football.

“That is good for us.”

Pressed additional, Tebas added: “You should respect legal process. People might be condemning him in the press but you have to respect the legal decision.”
