Real Madrid demands the departure of LaLiga president

Real Madrid have officially called for the resignation of LaLiga president Javier Tebas following his recent comments regarding the refereeing controversy that accompanied the Madrid derby against Atlético.

Javier Tebas has responded to Real Madrid's criticism of officiating, stating that claims of refereeing bias against the club represent a 'conspiracy theory', and that this narrative is used to cover up other issues that have arisen at the start of the season.

Real Madrid has responded with an official statement, describing Javier Tebas's remarks as unacceptable. The club accused him of using his institutional position to attack the club and belittle it repeatedly, emphasizing that the president of LaLiga should work to enhance trust in the competition's institutions and ensure neutrality.

The club confirmed that Spanish football needs new leadership capable of managing the competition impartially, stressing that the president of the league is not the owner of the competition, but rather responsible for managing it and serving the clubs that trust him to lead them. This escalation comes after Real Madrid lost to Atlético 2-1 in the derby.
