Barca’s club president went even further, defining the Whites as “the regime team on duty, because of its proximity to political, economic and sporting power…”. “I think it is worth remembering that for seven decades the majority of CTA (Technical Committee of Referees) presidents have been almost continuously or former members of Real Madrid or exjugators or former administrators. And sometimes all at once! “, he also said.

“That this club appears and says that it feels aggrieved by the best sporting period in the history of FC Barcelona seems to me an exercise in unprecedented cynicism“Laporta also said.

Laporta did not miss the opportunity to say that “this campaign comes at a time when Barça is starting to come out of the tunnel”, because “we have saved Barça financially” and “we are also very competitive”. I see here a clear reason for try to destabilize us sportingly. For this reason, we must be more united than ever,” he said before detailing everything he considers “no coincidence”.

“This campaign also explodes, coincidentally, when FC Barcelona does not sign the agreement with CVC (referring to LaLiga and Tebas). We don’t pander to your interests. We prefer other options that are much better for Barca’s economic interests,” the Barca president continued.

Then the Super League came to the fore: “This campaign is also happening when Barca are working for a new European competition format. Try to get UEFA to join in this public lynching.” Finally, Laporta mentioned the planned renovations to his stadium: “This campaign is gaining momentum just as FC Barcelona awards the Camp Nou works to an international company. All these coincidences explain why”.

Already in the press conference after his appearance, Laporta made it clear that he will not stop supporting the creation of the Super League no matter how badly the relationship between Barca and Real Madrid does not go through its best moment. .

“We are not here because Madrid or Juventus are there. We are in the Super League by conviction. It does not depend on who is involved in the cause. It’s true that I didn’t like it, but I don’t want to talk about this topic anymore, because if not then they will say that I don’t want to talk about the Negreira affair and that I reduce everything to the Barça-Madrid confrontation” , he valued in one of his answers.

“Barca are in this society (the Super League) because they believe they have to defend the sustainability of European football and defend themselves against clubs with unlimited resources,” Laporta reiterated afterwards.

That yes, the president of Barça has recognized that Institutional relations with Madrid ‘are affected’: “There is a relationship of maximum rivalry, and for me there continues to be a relationship of institutional harmony, which has been undermined by this appearance” in the Negreira affair.

“I think they rushed it and it’s an inappropriate exercise for a club like Real Madrid. Those who were belligerent are them for appearing as a private prosecutor,” Laporta added.
