In an escalating confrontation within Spanish football governance, Real Madrid has officially called for the immediate resignation of La Liga President Javier Tebas from his league leadership and vice-presidency of the Spanish Football Federation. The demand follows controversial comments comparing the club's administration and broadcast channel to Nazi propaganda mechanisms. The dispute originated on the X platform, where Tebas responded to Real Madrid's objections regarding their scheduled match against Valencia on November 7, which closely borders their Champions League encounter against AEK Athens on November 4. Condemning the remarks, Real Madrid released a statement describing them as deeply offensive and morally repugnant. The club rejected Tebas's clarification that his analogy addressed propaganda techniques rather than ideological beliefs. Furthermore, the club characterized these statements as an ongoing campaign of attacks, urging comprehensive reforms across Spanish refereeing bodies and federation structures responsible for governance, discipline, and oversight, amid the payments scandal involving former referee Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira. Reaffirming its resolve, Real Madrid reiterated its call for Tebas's resignation to protect its institutional integrity.
