Real Madrid calls for a new Spanish league president after criticizing Tebas’ refereeing remarks

Real Madrid has called for a new president of the Spanish league after the club criticized Javier Tebas' remarks on refereeing. The Spanish soccer leader's comments about the club's attack on the refereeing crew during a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid on Sunday were deemed "intolerable" by Real Madrid. The team's statement emphasized the need for a leader who can manage the league's development and maintain neutrality, as the president is not an owner of the competition but a manager serving its clubs.

Madrid accused Tebas of using his position to discredit and attack Real Madrid, and expressed concern over his repeated obsession with targeting the club. Tebas dismissed Real Madrid's accusations, stating that the team's complaints were excuses to hide its deficiencies. Real Madrid's defeat to Atletico left them in fourth place after seven league rounds, six points behind Barcelona.

The coach, José Mourinho, had previously complained about "strange" occurrences affecting his team, including what he believed to be referees' bias against Madrid.
