Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish Football League, faces an investigation before the Sports Administrative Court in Spain after comparing Real Madrid's media channel to Nazi propaganda. The referral came from the Higher Sports Council, based on a post by Tebas on platform "X" on October 16, in which he criticized the channel's media approach, likening it to the propaganda used by the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. Tebas clarified that the comparison pertains to propaganda and media communication, not to comparing the club or its fans to the Nazi regime. Real Madrid responded with a statement demanding Tebas's immediate resignation, describing the comparison as "unacceptable and dangerous." The club also called for a comprehensive reform of the refereeing system and the administrative and supervisory structures in Spanish football. The president of the Higher Sports Council, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, described the comparison as "terrible" and demanded Tebas apologize and correct his statements. Tebas defended his position, criticizing the referral.
