Telefonica, the telecom company who bought the rights of LaLiga and btained the judgement against cloudflare IPs, sells some of those services through its business services branch.

To say that Telefonica offers even remotely the same services and features that Cloudflare does is a lie at best.

The keyword was "some".

In the same way that a roadside lemonade stand run by a child offers some of the same services as a grocery store.

There are plenty of giants that are super relevant in the global market but get their ass kicked in specific markets by the local offering. Like ebay, Uber, Starbucks, Taco Bell or whichever US brand/company you can think of.

Telefónica is nothing globally compared to Cloudflare. But in Spain it competes in some areas. Exactly where this ban is happening.

It is not hard to see a conflict of interest.
