Tebas Slams Pérez After Super League End: "Now He Will Justify His Surrender as a Strategic Victory"

12 February 2026at14:48

Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, launched a fierce attack on Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, following the latter's announcement of a "peace agreement" with UEFA, effectively ending the Super League project.

Tebas criticized Real Madrid's statement, arguing that Pérez had retracted his words from less than 90 days prior, when he had considered reaching an agreement with UEFA to be a surrender. Today, the club announced its agreement with European football's governing body.

Writing on his "X" account, Tebas stated: "Less than 90 days ago, Florentino Pérez considered reaching an agreement with UEFA nothing less than a surrender. Now the usual phase begins: crafting a new narrative through 'mouthpieces' so that the retreat appears to be a strategic victory."

He added: "The problem is not changing your position, but denying that you changed it. When a person has true leadership, they don't need to rewrite what they said 90 days ago. A competition where one competes against oneself was impossible," referring to Real Madrid being the last club to support the Super League project.

What was Javier Tebas's criticism of Florentino Pérez?

Tebas criticized Pérez for allegedly reversing his Super League stance. He accused the Real Madrid president of reframing a prior 'surrender' to UEFA as a 'strategic victory' after their agreement.

What is the current status of the Super League project?

Real Madrid's 'peace agreement' with UEFA, as announced by the club, effectively ends the Super League project. Real Madrid was the last club supporting the initiative.
