La Liga president Javier Tebas compared Real Madrid's official channel's methods to Nazi propaganda techniques as his dispute with the club escalates.
- Tebas accused the Real Madrid administration of leading "an orchestra of media trumpets" in a statement posted on X on Friday.
- The remarks responded to El Debate articles addressing Real Madrid's objections to refereeing and the Valencia match scheduled for November 7.
- Tebas clarified the comparison concerned propaganda techniques — repetition, enemy-building, and imposing predetermined narratives — not Nazi ideology or Real Madrid fans.
- Tebas demanded Real Madrid disclose all prior schedule-change requests and approvals, saying the club leads all teams in that regard.
- Real Madrid issued an official statement attacking Tebas's comparison and demanding his immediate resignation from La Liga and the federation.
- The club rejected Tebas's clarification as an insult, saying his disavowal of Nazi ideology does not diminish the severity of his remarks.
- Real Madrid renewed calls for a full Negreira case investigation and comprehensive reform of Spanish refereeing and governance structures.
- Tebas replied to Real Madrid's resignation demand by accusing his opponents of trying to intimidate him.
- Sevilla and Atlético Madrid criticized the channel's influence on referees, though no sanctions resulted.
