The president of LaLiga, JavierTebas, has once again been involved in a scandal with Real Madrid after a controversial comparison he made on social networks between the club's television and Joseph Goebbels' Nazi propaganda. Real Madrid's response was immediate and forceful, with an official statement demanding Tebas' resignation and denouncing what the club considers "continuous hostilities" on the part of the employers.
The conflict dates back to the last few years of a long dispute between Tebas and Real Madrid, where the league president has been accused of trying to disqualify him and of filing complaints with the Higher Sports Council and third parties. In his message on platform Likewise, he criticized LaLiga's actions in the Negreira case, alleging that the league has been passive and that the relationship between the club and the federation has not changed despite Barça's break with the Super League.
Real Madrid, for its part, responded with a statement describing Tebas' comparison as “insulting” and demanding his resignation. The club also denounced that the “continuity of attacks” against the national competition and the “regeneration” that the league seeks to promote are actually attempts to “destroy” the prestige of Spanish football. In its message, Real Madrid asked that the “attacks” of the bosses' media and their supporters be stopped, and that they stop “being able to put people in the target.”
Tebas, in his response, asked that the accusations that he considers false be denied, such as the alleged influence of the league on match schedules or the idea that the league “harms” Real Madrid. He also demanded that specific data be revealed about the day and time changes requested by the club and that the true reason for the accepted requests be explained. In his message, the president of LaLiga stated that the “intimidation” that Real Madrid has suffered is a “passion” that should not be confused with legitimate criticism of its leaders.
The future of relations between the employers' association and Real Madrid remains uncertain. The League has stated that it will continue to defend the independence of the competition and that it will not give in to the clubs' demands. For its part, Real Madrid maintains its position that the league is trying to “destroy” the national competition and that it must respond to accusations of injustice. In the coming days, both parties could present new demands and statements, while the football community waits for a resolution that will allow stability to be restored in the management of Spanish football.
