Spanish football has been hit by another major controversy after Real Madrid reportedly demanded the immediate resignation of LaLiga president Javier Tebas following his comparison of the club’s communication strategy and Real Madrid TV (RMTV) to the propaganda methods of Nazi Germany’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels.
The explosive dispute has pushed the long-running tension between Real Madrid and LaLiga into the spotlight once again, with the Spanish giants making it clear that they consider Tebas’s remarks completely unacceptable.
Real Madrid strongly objected to the comparison, arguing that it crossed a serious line and was an attack on the club, its leadership and its television channel. The club believes that someone occupying such an important position in Spanish football should be expected to demonstrate neutrality, respect and impartiality when dealing with major institutions in the sport.

The controversy goes beyond Tebas’s comments. Real Madrid has also raised questions about the handling of the Negreira case, which concerns payments made by Barcelona to a former senior refereeing official. The club says it has approached UEFA to seek clarification and has called for major reforms to Spain’s refereeing system and football governance.

Madrid believes Tebas’s repeated public criticism of the club raises serious concerns about whether he can fairly represent all clubs in Spanish football. The club insists that the people responsible for leading the competition must protect its integrity rather than become involved in public disputes with individual teams.
Tebas, meanwhile, framed his original criticism around the communication methods used by Real Madrid TV and those associated with the club. He clarified that his comparison concerned propaganda techniques, not Nazi ideology. However, that explanation has done little to calm the dispute.

REAL MADRID’S FINAL MESSAGE IS CLEAR!
The Spanish giants have officially demanded that Javier Tebas step down immediately from both his position as LaLiga president and his role as vice-president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
Real Madrid says it will continue defending its reputation, seeking transparency in the Negreira case and pushing for changes to Spanish football’s leadership and refereeing structures.

This is another explosive chapter in the bitter relationship between Florentino Pérez’s Real Madrid and Javier Tebas. With accusations, demands for resignation and calls for institutional reform now dominating the debate, the pressure on Spanish football’s leadership is growing.
Will Javier Tebas stand his ground, or will this controversy eventually force him out?
