La Liga president accuses Florentino Perez of ‘lying’ in explosive rant: ‘It’s sad that a man like him…’
The relationship between Javier Tebas and Florentino Perez has once again descended into open conflict after the La Liga chief launched a strong public attack on the Real Madrid president during an event in Santander.
Tebas did not hold back when discussing recent comments made by Perez regarding the now-defunct media outlet Relevo.
The Real Madrid president had suggested that La Liga financially support the platform in order to attack the Spanish giants, claims that Tebas completely rejected.
Speaking during a public appearance, the La Liga president expressed frustration with the accusations and directly accused Perez of spreading false information.
Addressing the issue, Tebas said, “I’ve told him this on social media platform X. Sometimes he says we’ve given the outlet 25 million, other times 10.
“It’s a lie. They’ve even come to check the accounts.”
Another attack on Perez
The latest clash comes shortly after Perez held a press conference where he discussed several matters surrounding both La Liga and Real Madrid’s current situation.
Tebas responded by suggesting that the club president regularly positions himself as the victim in public disputes.
“It’s sad that a man like Florentino, with the business reputation he has and everything he’s done for Real Madrid, has to come out and lie and make these claims.
“Everyone knows I’m a Real Madrid fan, even though I’m taking a break at the moment. I feel sorry for Real Madrid because you can’t keep telling lies all the time.”
Tebas also referred to Perez’s decision to call elections at the club, but made it clear that he respected the president’s authority to make those decisions internally.
“The Real Madrid president will do what he believes is best for the club; resigning and calling elections is not among his options, so we must respect that.
“He is the club’s president, so he is the one who knows the situation best,” he explained.
Still, the strongest remarks arrived when Tebas accused Perez of repeatedly creating stories of persecution around Real Madrid.
Tebas said that the Real Madrid president has once again spread a “hoax”, and accused him by stating that he thrives “on playing the victim of persecution.”

Real Madrid’s performance against Real Betis was shambolic, to say the least as the team faced many of the problems that have haunted them over the past couple of years.
But on a night where most of the attackers struggled to create anything of note, Dean Huijsen emerged as a lone bright spark for Los Blancos.
Huijsen keeps his promise
As reported by MARCA, Huijsen was the standout performer for Real Madrid, marshalling the backline with real authority even as the team struggled around him.
There has been a noticeable shift in the young defender’s mentality this season, with the player showing more competitive nature and looking much fiercer.
This is an attitude Huijsen had always promised, having inherited the iconic number four shift from David Alaba, a number he associates with his idols Sergio Ramos and Fernando Hierro.
“What I do know is that I’ll give everything of myself every day, whether in training or in a game,” he vowed, and at La Cartuja he delivered on that word.
His primary task was neutralising Juan ‘Cucho’ Hernandez, and he did so superbly, drying up the Colombian’s supply and repeatedly anticipating danger.
He also held his own in a niggly battle with Antony, refusing to be ruffled by one of Betis’ most inspired performers.
His composure on the ball, one of the qualities that has elevated him, saw him venture forward, forcing a fine save from the goalkeeper in the 11th minute and later heading against the woodwork.
The Konate partnership grows
Alongside him, Ibrahima Konate did his job, albeit without matching his partner’s brilliance.
The Frenchman was a little less assured, both in and out of possession, reflecting the two speeds of the centre-back pairing.
Huijsen looks settled and increasingly commanding, while Konate is still building the sharpness needed to reach his best in white.
Nonetheless, the partnership is heading in the right direction, and in Huijsen, Real Madrid appear to have unearthed a genuine leader for an area that has long been a weakness.
Each performance is also an argument to Luis de la Fuente, as the defender looks to reclaim the Spain spot he lost before the World Cup.
