Real Madrid and La Liga President Javier Tebas are currently embroiled in a public dispute, with tensions escalating between the two parties. Tebas revealed that Real Madrid has expressed a desire to have him removed from his position, citing civil, criminal, or administrative reasons.
The conflict stems from Madrid's complaint against Tebas regarding what they perceive as discriminatory treatment related to the CVC agreement. Real Madrid, along with FC Barcelona, did not sign the agreement, which would have provided a financial boost based on future television rights income. This decision was influenced by the clubs' involvement in the failed European Super League, a move that Tebas has been critical of.
Tebas addressed the issue during a conference on Football and Faith, expressing his lack of concern over the legal action taken by Real Madrid. He highlighted that the Higher Sports Council had already ruled on the matter and corrected it in a subsequent assembly.
Furthermore, La Liga released a statement accusing Real Madrid of attempting to gain a competitive advantage through alleged pressure on match officials. Madrid's complaint about a referee's handling of their match against Osasuna led to responses from various bodies, including the Technical Committee of Referees and Osasuna themselves.
La Liga emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the competition and condemned any actions that could compromise it. The league expressed concern over Real Madrid's repeated behaviors that are perceived to undermine the values of fair play and sportsmanship.
Various figures within the football community, such as FC Barcelona's president and head coach, have echoed these sentiments, accusing Real Madrid of attempting to manipulate the competition in Spain. The ongoing dispute between Real Madrid and La Liga President Javier Tebas continues to unfold, raising questions about the relationship between one of Spain's most successful clubs and the governing body of Spanish football.
