Mr. Florentino Perez made a statement that ignited the conflict with La Liga, at a congress of Real Madrid Club held on November 11. "Football is going through an unprecedented institutional crisis. The situation is very serious. Either we react now or football will no longer exist. That is why the Super League project is more necessary than ever," Mr. Florentino Perez said.

"Kodak eventually went bankrupt because it didn't know how to adapt. Nokia and Erikson lost their leadership because they didn't know how to adapt. This happens in every field and football is no exception," said Florentino Perez.
Mr. Florentino Perez also denounced: "La Liga has deprived and attacked the assets of clubs like Real Madrid. First, they took away 11% of our audiovisual rights for 50 years. They changed the system to eliminate the club presidents... I am here, working every day so that Real Madrid is always the best club in the world. This club always desires more, that is also a way to understand sports as well as to understand life".
Immediately after Mr. Florentino Perez's statement, La Liga President Javier Tebas spoke out strongly in opposition.
"He only spreads lies, distorting the content of judicial resolutions in La Liga. Other clubs are entitled to the same respect as Real Madrid. These clubs have voiced why Real Madrid is not on the Delegation Committee of La Liga, a very important organization of Spanish football. That is because Real Madrid only acts for their own benefit. He always says that other clubs have been deceived by La Liga, this is completely untrue and it is even an insult to the clubs and La Liga", Mr. Javier Tebas responded, through a status posted on the social network account X (old Twitter).

The conflict between Mr. Javier Tebas, President of La Liga and Mr. Florentino Perez, President of Real Madrid Club has been going on for a long time, surrounding issues of economic interests of the club.
Mr. Florentino Perez is currently the only person still pursuing the project of organizing a Super League, separate from the Champions League of the European Football Federation (UEFA) and demanding more benefits, or financial autonomy compared to the rest of La Liga.
