Real Madrid Demand Removal of La Liga President Javier Tebas
Real Madrid have issued an official statement demanding a new La Liga president. The club wants someone who can do the job with full integrity and neutrality. The move follows fresh public criticism from Javier Tebas, who attacked Real Madrid TV on social media.
The Real Madrid Javier Tebas dispute has escalated quickly. Real Madrid say Tebas is using his position to attack the club rather than protect fair competition. They want him removed from office.
Official Statement Details Real Madrid Allegations Against Tebas
Tebas criticised Real Madrid TV on social media. He called it “the regime’s television” in a post that prompted the club’s response. He also dismissed the club’s complaints about refereeing in a separate message.
When it isn’t Negreira, it’s the referee. Enough of this fog! The usual pretext is no longer believed by anyone with a measure of logic.
Real Madrid’s response was direct.
Real Madrid considers it unacceptable that the president of the Spanish league association should use his institutional position to continue diminishing Real Madrid and attacking it in the way he does in all his interventions.
The statement continued in the same vein.
It is extremely concerning that the person responsible for representing and protecting the interests of all La Liga clubs continues his repeated preoccupation with Real Madrid, turning our club into a permanent target of his public attacks.
The club also pointed to one specific episode. Tebas commented on an article by an independent journalist, then turned his remarks toward the club and its transfer strategy.
His recent interventions are particularly serious and astonishing, and unbecoming of an official who bears his responsibilities, after he chose to comment on an article written by an independent journalist in a digital media outlet, before turning his remarks into an attack on our club, and even going beyond that to assess our sporting strategy, which represents an utterly irresponsible act.
Full details of the statement were carried by Goal’s report on Real Madrid’s statement.
Rising Institutional Friction Follows Controversial On-Pitch Period
Real Madrid see this as part of a pattern, not a single remark. Frustration with refereeing decisions and league conduct has flared before. We touched on this in our earlier report and in coverage of the post-match administrative protests that followed recent controversial results.
The statement addressed the wider damage directly.
It is astonishing that the president of La Liga dedicates his time and his personal accounts to continuously attempting to publicly tarnish the image of Real Madrid, instead of contributing, from the responsibilities of his position, to strengthening confidence in the institutions that are supposed to guarantee the neutrality of the competition.
Real Madrid argue this goes beyond normal criticism. They say it amounts to repeated targeting of the club by someone meant to serve every side in the competition, not just his own view.
La Liga Governance Conflict Moves Into Critical Phase
The Real Madrid Javier Tebas conflict has moved from social media sniping to a formal demand for change. Real Madrid say professional football in Spain needs a president who can manage it properly and keep the game neutral.
In light of this inappropriate conduct that has persisted over time, we believe that professional football in Spain urgently needs an official capable of managing it and developing its full potential, while adhering to the fundamental duty of neutrality.
We need someone who understands the nature of his position, because the president of La Liga is not the owner of the competition, but rather an official who manages it in the service of the clubs that make it up and entrust him with leading it. We need someone who performs this task with integrity.
Real Madrid have not named a preferred candidate. The club has not confirmed any legal steps against Tebas either. For now, the statement stands as a direct institutional challenge. It puts pressure on La Liga’s members to address the presidency, and on Tebas to answer Real Madrid’s call for genuine neutrality.
