Tebas Takes Aim at Real Madrid Again

Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, has launched a scathing attack on Real Madrid in response to the club's latest statement, criticizing what he perceives as a double standard in evaluating the financial policies of clubs.

Real Madrid has released an official statement welcoming FIFA's decision to cancel the proposal to sell a stake in the ownership of the international football federation, including the World Cup. The statement also addressed the club's rejection of the CVC agreement related to La Liga.

Javier Tebas stated: "The first part of Real Madrid's statement is undeniable: FIFA cannot act unilaterally regarding future football revenues without consulting the clubs, which bear the costs and risks of that."

He added: "By the way, why did the response take so long? And what was 'Anas' doing in New York during the week of the final match? Is it a coincidence that JP Morgan was also involved in this process, as it was before with the Super League?"

He continued: "Starting from the first paragraph, Real Madrid is returning to build its narrative regarding the CVC deal. The process was optional; each club decided freely whether to join or not. Real Madrid did not, and is not linked to it, nor is it committed to a single euro of its revenues. It was a decision made by a vast majority of clubs, which is precisely the exercise of the independence that the statement itself claims to defend."

He continued: "It seems completely contradictory that someone who criticizes other clubs for mortgaging future revenues has mortgaged the revenues of the Bernabeu Stadium, and has brought in an investment fund for twenty years to exploit certain operations at the stadium, while spending nearly a year proposing ways to allow investors into the ownership of Real Madrid."

He emphasized: "The principle seems simple: when Real Madrid decides it freely, it is an update and financial strategy; and when other clubs decide it freely, it is a mortgage."

He added: "By the way, what an obsession with the Spanish League. Perhaps it is related to losing lawsuits and legal complaints one after another, year after year, and filing reports that also failed to 'eliminate' its president."

He concluded: "The being is not superior to this extent (referring to Pérez); he no longer has any credibility to give lessons on the future of football. Don't you remember when the Super League came to save us because football was bankrupt? What a vision."
