Real Madrid demand resignation of La Liga chief after Goebbels comparison

Spanish football club Real Madrid, based in Madrid, have demanded that La Liga president Javier Tebas resign. La Liga is Spain's top-flight football league. Tebas is under fire for comparing the club's television channel, Real Madrid TV, to Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany.

The club's call for the league's head to step down points to a sharp conflict between one of Spain's football clubs and the league's leadership. The available source material gives no further details about where or in what circumstances Tebas made the comparison, so those circumstances are not described here.

The comparison with Goebbels has drawn criticism of the La Liga president. Real Madrid is using the situation to publicly demand that he leave his post.

This story will be updated if Tebas or La Liga respond to the club's demand.
