At Real Madrid's annual club meeting, Florentino criticized Tebas, and Tebas responded in a social media post.

Florentino said: "It is abnormal for La Liga to use our money to hire a lobby group to influence the formulation of sports laws. They hired this lobby group to secretly introduce some amendments to deprive us of permanent commercial assets and benefit La Liga."

In response, Tebas responded on his X social account In response to Florentino's accusations, he reiterated what he said last year: "Regarding the hiring of lobbying groups to influence sports law, I reiterate what I said last season: As a lobbyist, Florentino is something of a 'pope'. His behavior of seeking influence through phone calls and meals over the years may have much more weight than what we have recently learned."
