La Liga president Javier Tebas and Real Madrid engaged in a heated public dispute on Monday following Real Madrid's 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid. The conflict began after Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho presented images at a press conference suggesting Atletico players should have been sent off, implying a refereeing conspiracy against his club.

Tebas responded on social media, rejecting allegations of a permanent conspiracy and criticizing Real Madrid TV's narrative that referees harm "the business that feeds them." He stated that representing all clubs requires defending equality, adding: "Respect for all; subordination to none."

“Respect for all; subordination to none.”

— Javier Tebas, La Liga President

Real Madrid issued a statement calling Tebas's remarks "intolerable" and accused him of persistently discrediting the club. The club demanded a leader capable of guaranteeing "the fundamental duty of neutrality" for Spanish football.

Tebas replied directly to the club's statement, agreeing that neither the La Liga president nor the Real Madrid president owns the competition. He insisted Real Madrid failed to address the specific claims about an "adulterated league" that prompted his initial response.
