🗣️ Tebas, Negreira case: Real Madrid TV repeating it doesn't make it true

🗣️ Tebas, Negreira case: Real Madrid TV repeating it doesn't make it true Javier Tebas, president of LALIGA, has once again shared his thoughts on X about the Negreira case. "My view of the Negreira case remains exactly the same: what happened was extremely serious and must be investigated thoroughly." But he rejects the idea that Negreira's influence continues today: "That's outrageous. And repeating it on Real Madrid TV doesn't make it true," the executive explains. Tebas criticizes Real Madrid for "building a narrative in 2026 that Negreira still influences Spanish refereeing today." And he poses two rhetorical questions: "Should we remove FC Barcelona and its current leadership from LALIGA?" and "Should LALIGA take the place of the courts, issue its own verdict and impose a punishment before there is a judicial ruling?" Hits out at RMTV and some journalists The president points out that legal proceedings are underway. "Let the judges investigate, let all the evidence be examined and let the investigation run its course." He also notes that any potential sporting offenses committed by FC Barcelona are time-barred. Tebas closes with a warning: "You can be extremely tough on what happened while also refusing to accept the misinformation" that Negreira continues to exert influence. In his view, "that is not pursuing the truth. It is trying to keep a narrative alive," because "the facts are serious enough without needing to invent others," he explains, naming RMTV and journalists Paul Tenorio, Melchor Ruiz and David Álvarez.
