Real Madrid demand La Liga president resign over Nazi comparison
Real Madrid officials asked Javier Tebas to step down from his roles after he compared their communications to Joseph Goebbels.

Club demands immediate resignation
The Spanish champions stated that the comparison was deeply offensive and morally repugnant. They argued that holding such a serious position requires neutrality and impartiality. The club insists Tebas must leave his job as La Liga president immediately.
Tebas defends his statement
The La Liga leader posted a long message on social media to explain his views. He claimed the comparison referred only to specific propaganda techniques rather than any ideology. Tebas noted that Real Madrid uses an orchestra of mouthpieces to control the narrative.
Specific criticism of tactics
Tebas said the club selects plays that suit them and feeds suspicion to enemies. He described this method as similar to how Nazi Germany constructed an enemy. The president added that facts are often subordinated to the narrative in these cases.
