Real Madrid has expressed strong dissatisfaction with refereeing in La Liga, leading to speculation that the club might consider leaving the competition. The president of the Spanish league addressed these claims.

Details: Javier Tebas dismissed the rumors, stating that such a move is impossible. He emphasized that Spanish sports law requires clubs from Spain to compete in domestic competitions.

Quote: "This is deception – it’s impossible, and they know it. There is a sports law stating that clubs in Spain must obligatorily participate in national competitions. This is just a part of their ongoing strategy, so which league do they think they are going to join?" Tebas said.

He also addressed Real Madrid's complaints about unfair refereeing in La Liga. According to Tebas, while the officiating system can be improved, it is not manipulated.

Quote: "When the Negreira case arose, a meeting was held with the clubs, and it was decided to reform the system so that it would no longer be dependent on the organization. Real Madrid did not attend that meeting. This is an attempt to undermine the National League. If all clubs had their own television rights, it would be chaos," the La Liga president added.

Reminder: Earlier, Ancelotti criticized the referee for sending off Jude Bellingham in the match against Osasuna.
