Tebas puts Real Madrid on the spot over refereeing complaints

La Liga president Javier Tebas told a press conference in Madrid that Real Madrid is the club most likely to complain about refereeing errors, adding that he has not yet seen the dossier the club sent to UEFA. He said he will read the document with “considerable interest”.

The press conference focused on Real Madrid’s submission to UEFA concerning refereeing decisions linked to the Negreira case. Tebas was asked whether the report only highlighted decisions that affected Los Blancos or also acknowledged mistakes suffered by other clubs.

Tebas admitted he had not reviewed the document but expressed curiosity about its scope. He suggested the report might cover a range of years and asked if it addressed errors against all clubs, including Real Madrid itself.

“I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m really looking forward to reading it. I want to see which years they’re complaining about, and whether they’re complaining about the mistakes made against all clubs, including Real Madrid itself,” Tebas said.

He concluded that “if anyone can’t complain about refereeing errors, it’s Madrid”, underscoring his view that the club frequently raises such grievances.

When asked whether he would attend an inauguration ceremony hosted by Florentino Perez after recently accepting an invitation from Joan Laporta, Tebas explained his stance on such events. He noted that he regularly receives invitations from Real Madrid but often declines for personal reasons.

Tebas confirmed he attended Joan Laporta’s inauguration ceremony. He said, “In fact, I’m invited to the VIP box every weekend, but for personal reasons I don’t go, because I have family matters to attend to.”

He added that institutional relationships must be maintained regardless of disagreements. “If it were an inauguration, of course I’d go, I’d take the floor and, of course, I’d say the same thing I said yesterday. That there are periods of disagreement, difficult times, when everyone defends their own position, but the important thing is to work with respect for the institutions,” he said.
