Ahead of the 2023/24 season, revealed that La Liga would remained the only top European league to not adopt goal-line technology as president Javier Tebas reportedly refused to pay £2.6 million ($3.2m) — the sum required to implement the technology.
After Barcelona fans criticsed La Liga chief over the absence of goal-line technology, Tebas took to X to respond to his critics where he shared a series of old incidents where goal-line technology was proven wrong. He added the caption: "no comment."
The Premier League was the first top European division to implement goal-line technology back in 2014 — inspired by Frank Lampard's strike against Germany in the 2010 World Cup. The Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A and Eredivisie soon followed the English league's path and adopted it by 2015.
