Real Madrid and Javier Tebas
23 September 2026
Real Madrid have formally called for La Liga president Javier Tebas to resign, accusing him of lacking neutrality and repeatedly attacking the club. Tebas rejected the demand and said representing all clubs does not mean submitting to the competition’s most powerful member.
The confrontation grew from renewed arguments after the Madrid derby but has expanded into a direct challenge to Tebas’ leadership. Madrid questioned his governance, while Tebas defended his independence and accused the club of repeatedly portraying refereeing decisions as persecution.
