Real Madrid say Tebas must resign over Goebbels comparison
MADRID: Real Madrid called on Friday for La Liga president Javier Tebas to resign after he compared the club’s efforts to discredit referees to the techniques of Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels.
MADRID: In response to La Liga president Javier Tebas' comparison of the club's efforts to discredit referees to Nazi propaganda techniques, Real Madrid has demanded Tebas' resignation. Tebas made the controversial statement on X, stating that Real Madrid's in-house TV channel often implies referees try to thwart the club's victory.
He later attempted to clarify that he was referring to Goebbels' propaganda methods, not Nazi ideology. Real Madrid responded with a statement calling Tebas' claims "deeply offensive and morally repugnant" and suggesting he should consider resigning immediately. The comparison has sparked tension between the two parties, with Real Madrid's coach Jose Mourinho also alleging consistent referee bias against the club.
