Tebas about Madrid Derbi controversy: “I understand the complaints, not the methods”

La Liga president Javier Tebas addressed the officiating controversies surrounding Sunday's Madrid Derbi between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. Tebas stated that while he understood the grievances, Real Madrid did not lose because of the disputed referee decisions. He assessed specific match incidents, supporting the red card given to Huijsen and dismissing calls for a red card against Romero in a challenge involving Jude Bellingham.

Tebas also reviewed an incident between Kang In and Federico Valverde, suggesting a red card could have been justified due to the speed of the play. Additionally, Tebas criticized Real Madrid TV for its broadcasts targeting referees, characterizing the channel's tactics as an unfair and cruel method of applying pressure on match officials.
