Tebas, the president of La Liga, attacks Real Madrid for their complaints about refereeing.
Real Madrid has come under fire from La Liga president Javier Tebas, who claims the team is promoting a weekly narrative of discontent with refereeing calls. Tebas voiced his mounting annoyance in a heated press conference, saying plainly:
“Every week, they do it.”
The comments are made at a crucial juncture in the season, when tensions over Spanish football officiating are at an all-time high. Real Madrid, who are no strangers to controversy, have frequently expressed their dissatisfaction with refereeing in social media, official club statements, and post-match interviews. When decisions go against them, they frequently imply bias or incompetence.
Tebas did not hold back while asserting that the club’s actions undermine the competition’s integrity:
“A club continuously undermining the officials is bad for the league. Although mistakes are inevitable, this has become a weekly campaign.
Madrid and La Liga’s tense relationship
The leadership of La Liga and one of its largest teams already have a difficult relationship, and this most recent altercation is only the latest spark. Tebas and Real Madrid have a history of disagreements, most notably over the proposed European Super League, in which Madrid continued to push against the league’s intentions.
The handling of broadcast rights, fixture scheduling, and perceived partiality toward particular clubs are just a few of the other factors that have caused controversy.
Madrid Has Not Reacted, But the Supporters Do
Real Madrid supporters and media outlets have defended their right to criticize officiating they believe to be unfair, even if the club has not yet responded to Tebas’ comments. Many say that the team is simply fighting for openness and responsibility in a league where trust in referees has been undermined by several high-profile events.
A Crucial Season Finale Ahead
With the La Liga title race entering its final phase, the pressure on both referees and top clubs is great. The question now is whether Tebas’ statements would help quiet the mounting tension—or add gasoline to an already blazing fire.
As the final matches approach, the attention will not only be on the players but also on how officiating and league governance are seen in the eyes of clubs, supporters, and the greater football world.
