Javier Tebas mocked Real Madrid for their greed as the president of Laliga believes that the Spanish club earns more than the Premier League clubs.
It can be argued that Real Madrid is possibly the greatest club in the history of football. They have the most Champions League titles and the most Laliga titles.
Each Madrid era supports some of the greatest players of that generation. Their merchandise and sponsors are unparalleled in Europe. Yet, the Spanish club has a habit of following money wherever it goes.
Real Madrid came under the bad books of Laliga when news came out of their affiliations with the Super League. Javier Tebas publicly ridicule Madrid president, Florentino Pérez by saying that he is “killing the national product”.
Recently, the outspoken Laliga president addressed the ongoing matter of how much the Spanish club earns from television rights.
Tebas, while explaining the statistics, took a dig at Real Madrid saying that despite making the ‘same’ amount as Premier League clubs, they still ‘cry a lot’.
“Our clubs on national television earn the same as those in the Premier League. Madrid cries a lot and they cry a lot… but it’s not true, they earn the same as those in the Premier.“
Javier Tebas also added that both Barcelona and Real Madrid are possibly the highest earners when it comes to European football clubs.
“That is why when the teams with the highest income in the world come out, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona come out of the first. I don’t know what else they want.”
Real Madrid needs Laliga but most importantly, Laliga needs them. This is the reason why the relationship between Javier Tebas and Florentino Pérez can never be perfect.
