Spain’s La Liga yesterday filed an appeal and requested precautionary measures against the ruling issued by the Spanish sports council (CSD) authorising Barcelona players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to play until the end of the season.

La Liga issued a statement calling for “an urgent judicial response” in the name of sporting fairness, claiming that the CSD’s resolution “violates” the rules governing the economic control of the Spanish league.
