La Liga president Javier Tebas criticizes Real Madrid’s claims of a refereeing “conspiracy” after the club loses the Madrid derby to Atletico Madrid. Sources report that the dispute follows Real Madrid’s post-match assessment of decisions involving tackles and a related red-card issue.

Tebas publicly responds, including via social media, arguing that the “conspiracy” narrative is not an appropriate explanation and that it serves as a cover for Real Madrid’s shortcomings. Multiple outlets describe the remarks as a rebuttal to pro-Real Madrid commentary.

Daily Post Nigeria adds detail that Jose Mourinho, after the 2-1 loss on Sunday, brings printed screenshots of incidents he viewed as red-card-worthy tackles to his post-match media briefing. Across outlets, the central difference lies mainly in how much context they include about Mourinho’s materials and how the rebuttal is framed, but they all report Tebas’s direct dismissal of the conspiracy accusation.
