Real Madrid Demands La Liga President Tebas's Removal

Real Madrid officials have renewed their calls for La Liga president Javier Tebas to step down.

This demand follows a contentious Madrid Derby and Tebas's public response to Real Madrid's criticism of officiating.

Earlier on Tuesday, Tebas issued a statement refuting Real Madrid's claims that referees are biased against them. He suggested their accusations were an excuse for other shortcomings and likened the 'conspiracy' narrative to living "in another galaxy."

These remarks did not sit well with the club.

In a strong statement released Tuesday evening, Real Madrid argued that La Liga requires a new leader.

"Our club finds it intolerable that the president of LaLiga uses his institutional position to continue disparaging and attacking Real Madrid," the club stated. "It is deeply concerning that someone responsible for representing and protecting the interests of all LaLiga clubs remains obsessed with Real Madrid, repeatedly making our club the constant target of his public attacks."

The club called Tebas's latest statement "particularly serious and incomprehensible, unbecoming of a responsible manager." They expressed astonishment that the La Liga president dedicates his time to discrediting Real Madrid instead of building trust in the institutions that ensure the league's impartiality.

"Given this inappropriate and prolonged behaviour, we believe that professional football in Spain urgently needs a leader capable of managing it and developing its full potential while upholding the fundamental principle of neutrality," the statement continued. "It needs someone who understands the nature of their role, because the president of LaLiga is not the owner of the competition, but rather a manager serving the clubs that comprise it and entrust its direction to them. The clubs need someone who will serve this mission with integrity."
