Football fans here in Spain and around the world can breathe a sigh of relief. La Liga kicks back into action this weekend after the first players' strike in 27 years was called off. Talks between the players' association and the football league ran until dawn on Thursday morning before resuming later. Eventually, the two sides emerged with a deal agreeing to anemergency fund to guarantee players' wages. They also agreed that any player unpaid for three months on the run can break his contract and sign for someone else.
