Real Madrid demand LaLiga chief's resignation over Nazi comparison

Real Madrid are demanding the resignation of the LaLiga chief, who compared the club's efforts to discredit referees with the propaganda techniques of the German Nazi regime, according to ESPN. OneFootball identifies the official as Javier Tebas and carries the same demand. The row lands just before Real Madrid host Sevilla at Santiago Bernabeu, a fixture Khel Now dates to 19/10/2026 and OneFootball to 18/10/2026, so the exact kick-off day is still unclear between the two outlets. In the table, Real Madrid are 4th in LaLiga with 18 points, one behind second-placed Atlético de Madrid on 19, while Khel Now has Sevilla 5th with 14 points.

What did Real Madrid demand from LaLiga's chief?

ESPN reports that Real Madrid want the LaLiga chief to resign. The demand follows a comparison in which the official likened the club's efforts to discredit referees to the propaganda techniques of the German Nazi regime. ESPN's headline says the club demand the resignation outright.

OneFootball carried the same story, naming Javier Tebas in its headline: Real Madrid demand his resignation after the Nazi propaganda comparison. The material available does not include a reply from the official.

What did OneFootball say about Real Madrid and the LaLiga executive committee?

OneFootball also published a separate item, dated 16/10/2026, saying Real Madrid return to the LALIGA Executive Committee after years away. The headline gives no further detail in the material available.

That item does not say whether it is connected to the resignation demand, so the two stories should be read as separate reports. What is confirmed is the demand for the official's exit, published by ESPN and OneFootball. Any link between the stories remains unreported in the material we hold.
