Conflict deschis între președintele La Liga și Real Madrid: Competiția nu aparține nimănui

The exchange between Real Madrid and La Liga president Javier Tebas intensified after accusations of bias against the club. Following a loss to Atletico Madrid, coach Jose Mourinho highlighted perceived referee errors. Tebas dismissed claims of a conspiracy, emphasizing that La Liga belongs to all clubs, not just Real Madrid. He criticized the narrative promoted by Real Madrid TV and defended the need for impartiality in officiating. Tebas argued that questioning refereeing decisions is valid, but turning every mistake into a conspiracy theory undermines the league's integrity. He also noted that Real Madrid's struggles this season should not be blamed on referees. The technical committee acknowledged a clear error in one of the disputed plays, indicating VAR should have intervened. Real Madrid currently trails Barcelona in the standings, seeking to end a two-year trophy drought under Mourinho's leadership.
