Real Madrid TV Launches Fierce New Attack: 'We Are Standing Up Against the Dirty League of Barcelona, Tebas, and Negreira'
Real Madrid TV has launched another scathing attack against Javier Tebas and La Liga in the wake of Los Blancos' victory over Sevilla, accusing the Spanish league's hierarchy of censorship, manipulation, and systematic bias against the club, further escalating the ongoing feud between the two parties. The club's official channel dedicated a significant portion of its broadcast to a protest banner targeting the La Liga president—unfurled by supporters at the Santiago Bernabéu—which the media outlet claimed was deliberately kept off the live television broadcast.
"During the match, the banner expressing outrage against Tebas was not shown. It was censored by the La Liga president," the club channel stated. "Tebas decides what gets broadcast and dictates to commentators what they can and cannot say. He dislikes that Real Madrid TV airs footage not shown during matches—footage censored by Tebas himself. He meddles and gives instructions to commentators and camera operators regarding what can be shown. The reactions at the Bernabéu were more important than the goals."
Real Madrid TV also renewed its grievances against Spanish refereeing, insisting that a persistent agenda operates against the team. "We do not manipulate footage of refereeing decisions. There is a distortion of the competition. A clear bias exists against Real Madrid, as was also evident in the Betis vs Barcelona fixture," the broadcaster noted.
"Real Madrid is standing up against the dirty league of Barcelona, Tebas, and Negreira. Madrid played a fantastic match, and all they want to talk about are other things. The people constructing this narrative are trying to steer the conversation in another direction," the channel's sharp tirade continued.
The outlet also cited the media scrutiny surrounding Arda Güler and the contrasting treatment of contentious moments in Barcelona's and Real Madrid's fixtures. The Turkish talent caught an opponent with an elbow in the 22nd minute at 0-0, an incident dismissed by the match officials but highlighted post-match by Andalusian boss Luis García Plaza, who claimed the referees aided the hosts. "Eight questions about Güler, yet not a single one the day Huijsen was struck at Elche. Sevilla didn't complain about Rodri's elbow. Why didn't Sevilla complain and stay silent when they were severely wronged against Barcelona? Perhaps they know how things work. This is a case study in how they want to shape the public narrative. When there are refereeing grievances, they speak out, but on the day of the Barcelona game, they stayed quiet. The disparity in analyzing both fixtures is staggering," Real Madrid TV added.
According to the club's television channel, the post-match uproar following the Sevilla clash is designed to distract from Real Madrid's commanding victory. "They want to shift the narrative because they conceded four goals. By the way, there was a foul on Güler before one of the incidents. It is reprehensible that after such a dominant display, everyone wants to talk about something else," the outlet maintained.
Real Madrid TV concluded by questioning the late penalty awarded in their favor, describing it as debatable and arguing it was only granted when the match was already settled. "They award a contentious penalty just so we cannot complain, when the contest had already been decided. At 0-0, they wouldn't have given it," the broadcast concluded.
The episode marks the latest flashpoint in the simmering feud between Real Madrid and La Liga president Javier Tebas, fueled by constant disputes over officiating, broadcast direction of controversial moments, and the ongoing shadow of the Negreira case over Spanish football.
