🤬 Yuste hits out at Florentino: "I don't know who he thinks he is” | OneFootball

FC Barcelona’s acting president, Rafa Yuste, has accused Florentino Pérez of exerting pressure against Barça in connection with the Negreira Case and announced legal action against him.

The Blaugrana executive claimed that Pérez had threatened to send documentation to UEFA to harm the club, and warned that the conflict would be settled in court. “We will take legal action against Florentino for resorting to slander to destabilize us,” he said before the Blaugrana Senate, the body made up of the club’s 1,000 longest-serving members, during an event reviewing the season.

Yuste did not specify the timeline or the venues in which this legal action would be filed, but he stepped up his criticism of Florentino Pérez. “The Madrid president has not digested Barça’s successes. It’s one thing to be jealous and another to be enraged. Do you really think this man can accuse us of stealing league titles and winning thanks to referees?” he protested.

“It’s one thing to defend yourself proudly and another to go behind people’s backs doing certain things. Do you really think they can threaten us by saying they will send 500 documents to UEFA? I don’t know what this man thinks he’s doing,” he told the senators.

Barça heads into the start of next season from a strong sporting position, but with the institutional noise of the Negreira Case as a constant backdrop. Yuste’s remarks raise the temperature of a conflict that, as he announced, will continue in the courts.
