The Story in 60 Seconds

Real Madrid have formally called for the immediate resignation of La Liga president Javier Tebas after he compared the club's media strategy to propaganda methods used by Nazi official Joseph Goebbels. Tebas alleged on social media that the club directs friendly journalists and Real Madrid TV to portray themselves as referee victims through systematic narrative repetition. Real Madrid called the remarks deeply offensive, morally repugnant, and incompatible with his institutional duties.

Tebas dismissed the demand for his resignation, claiming Real Madrid's leaders are attempting to destroy La Liga after failing to implement a European Super League. The clash follows heightened tensions regarding refereeing transparency, Real Madrid's recent complaints over officiating decisions, and their submission of 50,000 pages of evidence to UEFA regarding Barcelona's ongoing Negreira case.
