Real Madrid have published an official announcement attacking La Liga president Javier Tebas, who publicly addressed the controversy that occurred during Sunday’s match against Atlético de Madrid.
In light of the statements made by the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas Medrano, Real Madrid C. F. wishes to express the following:
Our club considers it intolerable that the president of LaLiga uses his institutional position to continue discrediting and attacking Real Madrid in the manner he does during
each of his public appearances. It is very concerning that someone responsible for representing and protecting the interests of all LaLiga clubs remains obsessively focused on Real Madrid, turning our club into the constant target of his public attacks.
His latest remarks are especially serious and incomprehensible, unbecoming of a responsible executive, as they are based on an article by an independent journalist in a digital publication. However, he reacts against our club, even going so far as to evaluate our sporting strategy, which is utterly inappropriate and irresponsible.
It is entirely surprising that the president of LaLiga dedicates his time and personal platforms to consistently attempting to discredit Real Madrid publicly, rather than contributing, as his position demands, to fostering trust in the institutions that are supposed to ensure the impartiality of the competition. By doing so, he continues to damage the image of our competition and Spanish football worldwide.
Given this inappropriate and persistent behavior, we believe that the professional football competition in Spain urgently needs a leader capable of managing it and realizing its full potential with the fundamental duty of neutrality. It requires someone who understands the nature of their role, as the president of LaLiga is not the owner of the competition but a manager serving the clubs that comprise it and entrust him with its leadership. The clubs need someone who serves this mission with honesty.
