Real Madrid, Javier Tebas and Spain’s National Sports Council
16 October 2026
Real Madrid have demanded the immediate resignation of La Liga president Javier Tebas after he compared the communication methods of the club’s television channel to Nazi propaganda techniques. Spain’s National Sports Council is reportedly considering whether the remarks warrant disciplinary action.
Tebas criticised Real Madrid TV’s repeated allegations about refereeing decisions and referenced propaganda methods associated with Joseph Goebbels. Real Madrid condemned the comparison as unacceptable and questioned his impartiality. Tebas defended his remarks, saying he was referring to communication techniques rather than Nazi ideology or the club’s supporters. No disciplinary sanction has been confirmed.
