THE FLORENTINO PEREZ PROBLEM: WHY JAVIER TEBAS CLAIMS REAL MADRID IS DESTROYING SPANISH FOOTBALL
Javier Tebas has gone all-in on Real Madrid! Read the La Liga president's explosive comments on Florentino Perez and the CVC deal.
The feud between La Liga president Javier Tebas and Real Madrid’s Florentino Perez isn’t showing any signs of ending. This week, Tebas took the stage at the Europa Press Sports Breakfast and, instead of talking about the game itself, went straight after the Real Madrid leadership. He defended La Liga’s choices and zeroed in on Perez’s role in all the recent drama.
Everyone’s been talking about Real Madrid’s split from Xabi Alonso, but Tebas thinks there’s a bigger problem hanging over Spanish football.
So, what’s the real issue? Right away, Tebas shot down criticism over the league’s deal with CVC. He said Madrid’s legal push against it just twists reality.
“La Liga didn’t try to take anything from Real Madrid or win in court for the other clubs. We spoke with many club presidents, and it was all explained clearly.
“The clubs’ ownership was never at risk. Everyone got the facts; everything else is just noise.
“The real problem has always been Real Madrid. If we don’t wake up, they’ll end up destroying Spanish football, just like what’s happening elsewhere in Europe,” Tebas said.
Then he moved on to why the CVC deal even matters. According to him, it’s been key for updating stadiums and boosting both attendance and revenue across Spain.
“You’ve got to understand the CVC plan—it’s directly tied to the list of stadiums getting renovated, which means more fans and more money.”
And Tebas didn’t just stick to recent fights. He brought up old scandals, comparing the current Negreira case to earlier match-fixing problems and calling out Madrid for staying quiet back then.
“Florentino once called the Negreira case the worst thing to hit Spanish football. But honestly, he’s wrong. The worst was the match-buying between 2008 and 2013. Teams are paid to stay in the league.
“That was the real scandal. And what did Florentino do? He looked the other way.
“In 2010, there was a wiretapped call with the Hercules president—match-buying came up. Who ignored it? Who didn’t back an investigation? Real Madrid,” Tebas said, not holding back.
Back on the Negreira case, Tebas argued that La Liga is leading the charge for accountability—not Madrid. He pushed back against anyone trying to link today’s refereeing to that scandal.
“The Negreira case is serious, and it’s being prosecuted. Not by Real Madrid, but by the prosecutor.
“They haven’t proven anyone bought referees, but it’s clear money went to the vice president of the referees. That’s bad enough. The case has to go on, and Barcelona has every right to defend itself,” he said.
Finally, Tebas talked about the fallout between Perez and Barcelona’s Joan Laporta. He brushed it off, saying he didn’t care if they were not on speaking terms. For him, it’s all about power games in Spanish football.
“I don’t lose sleep over Florentino and Laporta breaking off relations. If it’s because of the Super League, that’s fine by me,” Tebas said.
Then he pointed out what he sees as obvious pressure tactics. “Funny how, right after Barcelona left the Super League, Madrid hit them with a legal attack. Before that, relations were fine. What’s that called? That’s coercion. As long as you’re with me, I keep quiet; if you’re not, I go after you.
“That’s a classic move. Those clubs are trying to tear down La Liga and its president,” he said, wrapping things up.
JURGEN KLOPP RESPONDS TO REAL MADRID JOB LINKS AFTER XABI ALONSO EXIT
Jürgen Klopp has responded to Real Madrid manager rumours! See why the Red Bull chief says "something isn't right" at the Bernabéu.
Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is high on Real Madrid’s wish list as they look for a new manager after Xabi Alonso’s sudden exit.
Klopp, who now heads Global Soccer for Red Bull and oversees clubs like RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg, left Liverpool at the end of the 2023-24 season. Arne Slot took over and managed to win the Premier League in his very first year—a tough act to follow.
Instead of jumping straight back into management, Klopp took a break from coaching and chose a different path with Red Bull.
Now, with Alonso gone, Real Madrid are back in the market. Alonso left after Madrid lost 3-2 to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah. He’d only just arrived from Bayer Leverkusen and got Madrid to the Club World Cup semi-finals, but in La Liga, they’re still four points behind Barca.
So, the rumours started flying. When Sky Germany reported that Klopp was a top target for Real, he got asked if the Spanish giants had called him. He didn’t dodge the question.
“Yeah, there were definitely a few people who reached out to me about the Real Madrid job,” Klopp told ServusTV. “Honestly, I think it just shows something isn’t quite right there at the moment. It’s got nothing to do with me and didn’t make me feel anything. I was surprised; that’s true. A few people messaged me, and I just replied with a bunch of emojis.”
Klopp didn’t hold back about the pressure managers face at Real. Alonso took over from Carlo Ancelotti—a club legend, adored by fans, and a three-time Champions League winner. But six months in, Alonso is already out.
“If Xabi Alonso, who’s really shown what a talented coach he is at Leverkusen—and at his age, with the jobs he’s had, you can say that—gets forced out of Madrid after just six months, it says a lot,” Klopp went on. “First, it shows there’s no time anymore. Second, the expectations at Real are huge. Deciding that right after losing a final to Barcelona says a lot. Plus, we’d all heard the rumours for a while.”
Alonso’s coaching career started at Bayer Leverkusen. He led them to their first-ever Bundesliga title, going unbeaten the entire season. Bayern Munich derailed their title defence the next year, and Alonso moved to Madrid.
Now, former teammate Alvaro Arbeloa has stepped up from Madrid’s Castilla side to take charge.
Alonso admitted things didn’t work out. “It hasn’t turned out as we would have liked. Coaching Real Madrid has been both an honour and a responsibility. I thank the club, the players, and above all, the fans and the Madridista community for their trust and support. I leave with respect, gratitude, and the pride of having done my best.”
"AN HONOR AND RESPONSIBILITY": XABI ALONSO BREAKS SILENCE AFTER LEAVING REAL MADRID TODAY
Xabi Alonso exits Real Madrid! Read his emotional farewell statement and discover why the club promoted Álvaro Arbeloa to manager.
Xabi Alonso stepped up to the mic for the first time since leaving Real Madrid and called managing the club “an honour and a responsibility.” You could tell he felt the weight of it. He walked out of the Bernabéu on Monday, and by then, Álvaro Arbeloa—his old teammate—had already taken over, moving up from his Castilla post.
The split was official: mutual consent, they said. But honestly, it was coming. After Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah, everyone knew something had to give. Alonso looked worn down. Months of constant pressure and second-guessing had taken their toll.
The truth is, Real Madrid and Alonso never quite saw eye to eye. His tactics didn’t fit what the club wanted. He had a public falling out with Vinicius Junior, which apparently pushed Vini to refuse a contract extension. Then there was that awkward moment with Kylian Mbappé after the Super Cup—a small thing that fuelled bigger rumours about splits in the squad.
Mbappé was quick to thank Alonso on social media once the news broke. Others followed—Valverde, Rodrygo, and Arda Güler. Vinicius? He stayed silent.
Alonso kept his own response short. He waited till Tuesday, took a breath, and then posted a short message online. Just gratitude and respect, no drama.
“This professional stage is over, and it didn’t go as we would have liked. Coaching Real Madrid has been an honour and a responsibility,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I thank the club, the players and above all, the fans and Madrid fans for their trust and support. I leave with respect, gratitude, and pride that I did my best.”
Honestly, it’s wild how fast things changed for Alonso. Not that long ago, he was the hottest coach in Europe—he led Bayer Leverkusen to a perfect league season, delivered their first Bundesliga title, won the double, and nearly pulled off a historic treble. Real Madrid called him “one of the best coaches in the world” when he took over from Ancelotti last May. They gave him a three-year deal, but now, not even eight months later, he’s out of a job.
Still, this isn’t the end of his story. Real Madrid is famously impossible to please. One rough patch doesn’t erase everything he’s done.
Already, everyone’s wondering where he’ll land next. Manchester United needs a new manager this summer, and Alonso’s name is in the mix. There’s a twist, though—he’s got strong ties to Liverpool, and they might also need a new boss depending on how things go with Arne Slot. He turned Liverpool down once in 2024, which brought Slot in the first place. This time, who knows? Things might play out differently.
