Tebas K.O., Real Madrid Puts Him Between a Rock and a Hard Place and Achieves the Goal

The war between Real Madrid and the top representatives and organizers of the soccer world has been fervent and exhaustive. Recently, they once again became embroiled in a dispute against LaLiga over the issue of matches and the rest between them. The competition's attack by Javier Tebas was clear, and providing less than 72 hours of rest to Madrid provoked the indignation of the Madridists.

However, now things have changed, and they had no choice but to adjust the schedule in favor of the Madridists. This is all because, soon, the match against Athletic Club will have as a 'reward' a 4-day rest for the Whites. All due to the Basque club's participation in the Europa League, which ends up benefiting the capital team.

While the move comes from the benefit received by another club, it is a clear blow to a Tebas who has attacked Madrid on several occasions. Now he has no choice but to resign himself and hope that the Madridists stumble on their own.

He Hasn't Gotten His Way

Tebas's trick and his competition in the last match against Villarreal was a clear declaration of intentions against the Madridists. However, they say that soccer is fair and puts everyone in their place in the long run, which is what has happened with Tebas.

The Europa League match between Athletic Club and Rangers will take place on Thursday, April 17, and therefore, playing the match on Saturday would be counterproductive for the Basques. In light of this, Tebas schedules the match for Sunday of that same week, leaving Madrid with a more than deserved rest in between.

But Not Everything Is Rosy

However, we already know how LaLiga and its president operate, so it surprises no one that there are fine print details. In this case, it could affect the return leg with Arsenal, where Madrid will have one less day of rest before that very challenging duel.
