Real Madrid have demanded the immediate resignation of La Liga president Javier Tebas after he compared the club's referee-criticism broadcasts to the propaganda techniques of Joseph Goebbels. Tebas claimed on social media that Real Madrid TV employs methods reminiscent of Nazi propaganda by selecting favorable plays, repeating grievances, and targeting enemies, while clarifying he was comparing techniques rather than ideology.
