Real Madrid Faces Off-Field Challenges in 2025
Real Madrid enters 2025 facing significant non-sporting challenges, including tensions over the Super League project, conflicts with La Liga, and Ballon d'Or controversies.
Real Madrid looks ahead to 2025, navigating both triumphs and challenges on and off the field. While the team excelled in 2024, overtaking Barcelona in La Liga and advancing in the Champions League, the club faces critical non-sporting battles.
One major issue is the Super League project, led by A22 Sports Management. The latest proposal includes 96 teams and a revamped structure, but it has been met with fierce opposition from UEFA and figures like Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of PSG and ECA.
Relations with La Liga remain strained, especially with its president Javier Tebas, a vocal critic of the Super League. This ongoing tension complicates Madrid's administrative dealings with the Spanish league.
The club also expressed discontent with the Ballon d’Or process, as Vinicius Jr. was overlooked for the award. Real Madrid boycotted the ceremony, with President Florentino Perez criticizing both the organization and UEFA's involvement in the award process.
In contrast, relations with FIFA are reportedly better, though some disagreements persist. Personal connections between Real Madrid officials and FIFA leaders have eased tensions, providing some stability amidst broader conflicts.
As the club aims for further on-field success, resolving these administrative and political challenges will be crucial in shaping Madrid’s long-term trajectory.
