🔥 Laporta slams Madrid from Andorra: They’re obsessed with Barça | OneFootball

The president of Fútbol Club Barcelona, Joan Laporta, spoke at an event held in Andorra, harshly criticizing Real Madrid. His statements were made during the presentation of a book, where the top Barcelona official did not hesitate to point out the eternal rival for its supposed obsession with the Barça team, a phenomenon he openly called "barcelonitis".

According to Laporta, the recent interventions of Florentino Pérez at the Real Madrid Assembly only demonstrate the "barcelonitis they have". The top Barça leader insisted that these actions aim to justify the white club's stance on extra-sporting issues, describing the extension of the Negreira Case as a desperate attempt "when there is nothing". The most serious accusation came when he claimed that referees in the Spanish league "always favor Real Madrid".

The Barcelona president also recalled a recent incident, pointing out that Vinícius Júnior "almost broke Iñaki Peña's nose on the field in Elche". For Laporta, Madrid maintains a "persecutory obsession against the best era of Barça", adding that "they didn't like that Barça was the reference" and that their actions seek "justifications that lead nowhere". He was adamant in denying any irregularity: "Barça never bought referees".

Interestingly, Laporta also referred to his relationship with the president of LaLiga. Although he acknowledged having clashed with Javier Tebas, he stated that he respects him and considers him "a person who keeps his word" and "someone noble", with whom agreements can be reached. This view strongly contrasts with the stance that, according to Laporta, the eternal rival maintains.

Finally, Laporta concluded his speech by highlighting the quality of that team: "We were the team that played the best, recognized, admired, and esteemed for what we delivered". Therefore, he asked the people of Madrid to "not look for poor excuses", as without refereeing controversies, the standings would show Barça as the leader.
