Controversial LaLiga President Javier Tebas has clashed heads with Real Madrid and Barcelona over recent years for different reasons. He has been a noted combatant of Barcelona’s financial struggles. Oftentimes, he argues Barcelona must sell its players to make ends meet. In Real Madrid’s case, Tebas has fought Real Madrid’s dream of launching a new European Super League.

At the time, the two clubs outwardly supported the European Super League, meaning they could not sign a broadcast rights deal with LaLiga. However, the league dished out $1 billion in funds to the 38 clubs that signed the deal with CVC in February 2023.
This complaint from Real Madrid originally started when those funds went out in February 2023. Even though Spanish courts have supported LaLiga and Javier Tebas, Real Madrid has not backed down. Consequently, Tebas admitted Real Madrid has been working to get rid of him as the President of LaLiga. Real Madrid is accusing LaLiga and Tebas of discriminating against the club perhaps due to prejudices.
“I am not worried, but hey, Madrid has wanted to remove me from the presidency for civil, criminal or administrative reasons for a while,” Tebas stated.
