Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho brought two printed screen-shots of what he thought were red-card tackles committed by Atletico players to his post-match press conference following Sunday’s 2-1 defeat.
La Liga president Javier Tebas hit out on Tuesday at what he deemed accusations of a refereeing “conspiracy” by Real Madrid following their derby loss to Atletico Madrid. Tebas responded to a pro-Real article on social media with a lengthy riposte to allegations of a “conspiracy” against the 15-time European champions.
“Real Madrid are crucial to La Liga. But claiming that ‘La Liga is worth nothing’ without them reveals the disdain for the other clubs, their fans, and their history. The competition belongs to no one.”
“Here they go again, the mouthpieces and the regime’s television, building the same old narrative — the permanent conspiracy,” said Tebas, who has often been at odds with Real Madrid and the club’s outspoken president Florentino Perez.
Madrid have made a stuttering start to the season and already sit six points behind reigning champions and early leaders Barcelona in the La Liga table.
