For the occasion legendary players Raúl González (LaLiga country manager in the USA) and Fernando Sanz (LaLiga general director, Middle East and North Africa) accompanied by Blanca Panzano, TAG Heuer general manager in Spain began the countdown to the start of the new season of LaLiga, set to kick off in August.
