Real Madrid have requested the immediate resignation of La Liga president Javier Tebas following public comments regarding the club's criticism of match officials, according to reports from The Guardian and ESPN.
Accusations of Propaganda
As reported by The Guardian, Tebas posted comments on social media accusing Real Madrid of employing propaganda techniques. Both The Guardian and ESPN reported that the league president compared the club's efforts to discredit referees to methods used by the Nazi regime in Germany, with reference made to Joseph Goebbels.
In response to the comments, Real Madrid called for the immediate resignation of Tebas. Reports state that the club views the remarks as part of a pattern of continuous attacks against the institution.
Dispute Over Refereeing Criticism
The confrontation highlights an escalating dispute between the Spanish league's executive leadership and the club over public criticism directed at refereeing.
While both media outlets have detailed the exchange and the demand for a resignation, official administrative proceedings or formally published statements from the league remain unconfirmed in the available reports.
