La Liga president Javier Tebas spoke to the media at the XII Gala del Altruismo , earlier today, with much of the discussion focused on his ongoing dispute with Real Madrid.

The two parties have been at war for a while now, with the feud only escalating in recent days following the controversial Madrid derby which ended in a 2-1 loss for the Merengues .

Los Blancos were far from happy with the referee and some his decisions and made it abundantly clear through manager Jose Mourinho as well as the club’s Real Madrid TV broadcast.

Those comments sparked a response from Tebas, who called out Real Madrid over their complaints, which in turn prompted a strong response from the club , calling for a change of leadership in the league.

After Real Madrid issued an official statement lashing out at him, Tebas himself made a lengthy post on X, hitting back at the club and insisting that the club was “diverting attention from other problems .”

During his public appearance, the La Liga chief Tebas referred back to the comments he published and defended his position, saying (h/t AS ):

“If I weren’t responsible, I wouldn’t have been here for twelve years. We’ve been dealing with this for many years with Real Madrid Television, and when things go badly at the club, they criticise everything that moves.
