La Liga president Javier Tebas denied that the league had treated Real Madrid preferentially or contemptuously, saying its actions were defensive, not aimed at targeting the club.
La Liga president Javier Tebas denied that the league had treated Real Madrid preferentially or contemptuously, saying its actions were defensive, not aimed at targeting the club.
Tebas criticised the messaging on Real Madrid TV and some statements by the club’s board directed at the league. He said reaching an understanding with the club was difficult because the two sides differed over the future of football.
According to Tebas’s account in the report, the dispute is tied to Real Madrid’s vision for the European Super League project and major competitions, while La Liga believes this model could diminish the standing of domestic leagues. The report outlines the potential consequences of this divergence for the distribution of commercial revenue, broadcasting rights and clubs’ interests, arguing that the dispute goes beyond the Negreira case and criticism of refereeing.
