Apart from upgrading to Enterprise to get a BYOIP, you could add an external load balancer so that Spanish visitors are redirected to a non-Cloudflare version of your website... because right now ALL Cloudflare IPs are being blocked (and any new ones, get swiftly added to the block list)
The Spanish judge also ruled in favour of LaLiga: https://www.xataka.com/empresas-y-economia/duro-reves-para-cloudflare-justicia-rechaza-su-demanda-laliga-bloqueo-masivo-webs
And LaLiga President, Javier Tebas, said it's "4 gatos" that are affected by this, i.e. they do not care that they are indiscriminately blocking thousands of websites and who knows how many website visitors.
You could also file a complaint with the European Commission to put pressure on the Spanish government to investigate: https://www.xataka.com/basics/como-reclamar-te-estas-viendo-afectado-bloqueos-indiscriminados-laliga
But in the meantime, you have no choice but to accept that if you use Cloudflare IPs, then nobody in Spain can visit your websites whenever LaLiga football matches are playing (i.e. weekends)... websites I manage are also affected by this.
To say it's a ridiculous situation is an understatement but the judge ruled in favour of LaLiga, so we're SOL.
