Tebas likened pro-Madrid propaganda to Nazi Germany's propaganda and received a strongly worded statement from Real Madrid demanding his resignation. Tebas responded that such calls were not new, and La Liga had not remained passive during the Negreira case.

2. Following Tebas' comparison of pro-Madrid propaganda to Nazi Germany's propaganda, Spain's National Sports Council (CSD) is considering sanctions against him.

3. Jude Bellingham has agreed to an extension of his contract with Real Madrid until 2031, according to AS. The 19-year-old Englishman will receive an improved deal reflecting his importance on the pitch.

4. Dani Carvajal, the Spanish full-back, will return to the national team after joining Getafe as a free agent on Friday. Carvajal expressed his willingness to consider representing Spain again, despite exploring offers from exotic destinations.

5. Nico Williams' agent, Félix Tainta, sparked controversy when he spoke to the Los Fulanos podcast about Barcelona's interest in his client, Nico, in 2024. Tainta made it clear that Nico was thinking about leaving and that Athletic Club needed guarantees regarding his playing time.
