Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, has strongly criticized the FIFA Club World Cup, describing it as a "complete fiasco" that disrupts schedules, damages the professional football ecosystem, and faces opposition from players and leagues. Tebas has also raised concerns about the taxation on club prize money related to the tournament. In response, Real Madrid TV defended the Club World Cup, highlighting it as "free football for fans" and suggesting it continues to support the Spanish representative. The dispute underscores ongoing tensions within the football community regarding the impact and structure of the Club World Cup.
