Real Madrid Calls for New Leadership Amid Escalating Conflict with La Liga President Javier Tebas

NOS22 September · 22:331 day ago

Following Real Madrid's 2-1 defeat to Atlético Madrid, manager José Mourinho criticized the refereeing, prompting a sharp response from La Liga president Javier Tebas. Tebas dismissed claims of bias against Real Madrid as a conspiracy theory and an excuse for on-field shortcomings. In retaliation, Real Madrid issued a statement demanding neutral leadership in Spanish football, asserting that the La Liga president serves the clubs rather than owning the competition. The club also referenced the ongoing Negreira bribery scandal involving FC Barcelona, arguing it should have led to consequences. Atlético Madrid responded to the controversy by calling for an end to such disputes while joking about the environmental impact of printing alleged referee errors.
