Real Madrid Assembly Speech: Javier Tebas Accuses Florentino Perez of Spreading “Very Serious Lies”

The ongoing feud between Real Madrid President Florentino Perez and La Liga’s Javier Tebas is a reflection of the power struggles within Spanish football. The public exchange of accusations and insults only serves to undermine the credibility of both parties, and it’s disappointing to see such behavior from the leaders of the sport.

On Saturday, the annual general assembly of Real Madrid commenced with President Florentino Perez addressing various topics, including La Liga, in a critical manner. Perez also directed his criticism towards Javier Tebas, with whom he has had a strained relationship for some time. Following Perez’s speech, Tebas promptly responded, accusing Perez of making “very serious lies” during his address. Tebas stated, “I have listened to Florentino Perez’s speech. Apart from repeating the same thing year after year about young people, TV subscribers… which shows that neither he nor his management team is aware of what is really happening, he adds very serious lies about La Liga. He lies about the increase in the president’s salary – no increase – he lies about the transparency of La Liga, he lies about the expropriation of TV rights.” The ongoing feud between Tebas and Perez has become a familiar occurrence, and it remains to be seen whether the Real Madrid President will issue a response.
