LaLiga has been one of Florentino Pérez’s main objectives during his speech at the Real Madrid General Assembly held on Sunday morning. In his review of the white club’s current affairs, the Madrid president harshly attacked UEFA, the Ballon d’Or and the clubs’ employers’ association. Regarding the latter, he even stated that he had endangered the club’s “economic assets”, insisting on the law on the distribution of audiovisual rights, the operation with the CVC investment fund or the introduction of amendments to the new Sports Law. These consisted of LaLiga expropriating our commercial rights and to achieve their goals they raised the pressure on our politicians to such a level that they threatened to paralyze football and lead to a bosses’ strike, something truly historic and which of course never took place. out,” he explained. The white president explained that they were “flatly rejected in Congress thanks to the consensus between the PSOE and the PP”, but that “if they had prospered today neither Barcelona, nor Real Madrid, nor Atlético would be their partners, they would be their creditors. Javier Tebas’s reaction was immediate. Accustomed to great activity on social networks, the president of LaLiga went to them to respond to the “lies” of Florentino Pérez. “First lie of those that affect LaLiga,” attacked the president of the clubs’ association. «Florentino, you had your hand in the preliminary draft that was taken to the Council of Ministers. This draft simply recognized what the courts had already ruled as LaLiga’s rights in final rulings. However, days before the Council, you took advantage of your ability to influence (which no one doubts) to change articles and contradict those sentences,” he explains. “Later we worked again with the political groups to correct the situation, but you insisted in August 2022 , during a meal (you know who with), in trying to modify again what is established by the sentences with last minute amendments. It is a practice that, by the way, you also use in other areas of your industry, although this is not the time to go into details. Fortunately, you didn’t get it, and what you wanted was rejected,” he added. “What you’re saying is all the other way around. Here there was no ‘expropriation’ of Real Madrid (you always forget about Osasuna on this topic). What you were trying to do was expropriate what, by final ruling, already belonged to LaLiga and all the clubs. This is the truth, even if you try to disguise it. Regarding lobbyists, you are the ‘Pope’,” he concluded. Control of the media was not the only point on which the presidents of Real Madrid and LaLiga clashed. During his speech in the Assembly, Florentino Pérez also criticized “the lack of transparency and rigor in his management.” «We are surprised that at this point we do not know, despite our insistence and our multiple requests, how he justifies, for example, the money he distributes to the media and clubs bilaterally. The lack of transparency in its management continues to be alarming,” he lamented. “As LaLiga does not reveal to us which media outlets are the main beneficiaries, we believe that they will be some of those digital media outlets that repeatedly attack Real Madrid. We have asked LaLiga to identify the subsidized media, but they have never given us clarification because I imagine that if they pay some it will be for a purpose,” he questioned.

Ask David Jiménez, who details it in his book ‘The Director’ and recently explained it in his interview with Jordi Wild in ‘The Wild Project’. Óscar Campillo or Elías Israel could also speak. And the recordings of El Confidencial? The facts are clear and documented. “In addition, Real Madrid executives have had access to the report of a Big Four that certifies that all economic relations with the clubs have been completely transparent and adjusted to market prices. If you decided not to participate under these conditions, that is exclusively your problem,” he continues. «As for the media, the issue has already been discussed in meetings with all the clubs. Of course, it is curious that ‘the two usual media outlets’ that constantly criticize LaLiga probably do not appear. By the way, now they also criticize the neighborhood association, where ACS and Clece invest in ‘branded content.'” Finally, the president of LaLiga referred to Florentino’s request regarding the clubs and the media: “It represents barely 0 .13% of our expenses, it is striking that it is exactly the same as what the CSD requests, without any complaint having been filed. Chance?”.
