👊 When others decide...: Tebas lashes out at Real Madrid | OneFootball

LaLiga president Javier Tebas has reacted with harsh criticism toward Real Madrid following the release of an official statement in which the club celebrated the cancellation of FIFA’s partial sale of commercial rights and once again attacked the agreement between the Spanish league authority and the CVC fund.

"Agreement on FIFA, but contradictory accusations"

Although Tebas described as “flawless” the premise that FIFA cannot unilaterally dispose of future resources without assuming the risks borne by the clubs, he denounced a deep inconsistency in Madrid’s rhetoric. The executive recalled that joining CVC was a democratic and voluntary decision approved by the majority of the institutions.

He also questioned the double standard of the club led by Florentino Pérez, pointing out that the entity has pledged Santiago Bernabéu revenues for two decades and is considering bringing in private investors:

“When Real Madrid freely decides it, it is modernization and financial strategy; when the other clubs freely decide it, it is a mortgage.”

The firm stance of Los Blancos

For its part, Real Madrid reaffirmed in its statement that national team competitions are a public and intangible asset. The institution stressed that clubs form the foundation of football by training players and bearing the full economic costs. Therefore, it reiterated its outright opposition to the long-term commercialization of the sport’s future revenues, both internationally and domestically.
