Real Madrid issue fierce statement condemning Javier Tebas over social media criticism | OneFootball

Real Madrid have issued a fierce statement condemning LaLiga president Javier Tebas after their defeat at the Metropolitano. The club said in a statement that he had repeatedly used his institutional position to attack Real Madrid, calling it intolerable.

His social media remarks followed that loss, addressing Madrid’s complaints about refereeing. They argued that when it is not Negreira it is the referee, that officials may be international or not for any club, and that no team has the right to bespoke officiating.

The statement accuses Tebas of an ongoing fixation with Madrid despite his duty to represent and protect all LaLiga clubs. It brands his latest intervention especially grave and incomprehensible for commenting on an independent journalist’s article and for venturing to judge the club’s sporting strategy.

It criticises the use of personal channels to discredit Madrid instead of fostering trust in bodies that should guarantee the competition’s impartiality. This conduct, it says, damages the image of the league and Spanish football worldwide.

The statement concludes that Spanish professional football urgently needs a neutral leader who can administer the competition and develop its potential. It adds that the LaLiga president is not the owner of the competition but a steward serving the clubs, who require someone to serve this mission with honesty.
