  "account": "Real Madrid have called for La Liga president Javier Tebas to resign immediately, following his controversial remarks likening the club's management to Joseph Goebbels. In a stern statement, Madrid branded Tebas' comments \"deeply offensive\" and \"morally repugnant\". The Spanish giants demanded he be disqualified from his roles as head of La Liga and vice-president of the Spanish FA, urging him to step down from both positions. Madrid's statement highlighted Tebas' conduct as demonstrating a lack of neutrality, respect, and impartiality incompatible with his institutional responsibilities. The club's opinion is that his constant attacks on Real Madrid and those advocating for transparency and reform constitute a true scourge for Spanish football. Yesterday, Tebas took to social media to compare Madrid's communication strategy and TV channel to those employed by Goebbels, the Nazi Germany's minister for propaganda. He described Madrid's management as directing \"an orchestra of mouthpieces\" and the TV channel leading the \"singing\". Tebas stated that he was drawing a comparison with \"those propaganda techniques\" and \"not with an ideology\".",
