Carlo Ancelotti, head coach of Real Madrid, responded to LaLiga president Javier Tebas, stating that calling the club "crybabies" is disrespectful to millions of Madridistas. He also urged Tebas to focus on solving key issues in Spanish football rather than repeatedly discussing Madrid.

"Tebas talks too much about Real Madrid. Since I’ve been here, he has spoken about the club many times. What surprises me most is that he disrespects millions of Madridistas. There are more important issues in Spanish football, and a president should focus on solving them," Ancelotti said in a press conference.

"I can't say what would have happened if this involved Real Madrid. What I see is that there is an ongoing legal process. The football world has been patient for two years, and we must continue to wait for the final judicial resolution," he stated.
