La Liga president Javier Tebas responds to Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid

In the aftermath of their victory in Villarreal, Real Madrid was furious with La Liga's decision to play the game on Saturday, less than 72 hours after their debilitating Champions League collision against Atletico Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti has been particularly vocal and he threatened to remove his team from any similar match in the future.

Ancelotti also claimed that La Liga rejected requests from Real Madrid to move the game to allow a longer rest period for his first team team, but this was refused by the competition itself, whose President Javier Tebas is now in the case.

In a post on X, Tebas has revealed that Real Madrid, via club director Emilio Butagueno, has moved their La Liga fixture against Leganes, which will be in two weeks, until 9 p.m. CEST to secure extra rest for their recurring international players, but in the trial it will play less than 72 hours later in the second Pei of their Copa of their Copa of their Copa of their Copa of their Copa of their Copa of their Copa of their Copa of their Copa Re's Sem-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi i-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-final secure.

'Carlo, I am sure Emilio told you that Laliga had planned the next match day of Leganes for Saturday at 4.15 pm to give you more time for the semi -final against Real Sociedad. But Emilio asked the Liga competition director to change it in 9 p.m. – certainly with your knowledge and authorization, I imagine – to take advantage of those who come from the FIFA round. And now we have less than 72 hours between the last whistle of the Saturday game and the start of the semi -final of Tuesday! May the best eligible for the final !! “

It is not the first time that Tebas has responded to complaints from Real Madrid and Ancelotti, and as usual he has not taken prisoners with his reaction. Ultimately, it is a matter that all parties will continue soon, with the international break that is now popping up.
