Real Madrid, according to Barcelona president Joan Laporta, has historically been "favored" by officials
Real Madrid was cited as the team most favored by referees by Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who broke his silence about the officiating issue surrounding the club.
Everyone is aware that Real Madrid has a history of being favored by refereeing errors, according to Laporta. For seven decades, former Madrid members, players, or managers have served as the presidents of the refereessometimes all three at once! Madrid's decision to join the lawsuit is an extraordinary act of cynicism.
Barcelona is accused of paying the son of the former vice-president of Spain's referee's committee 7 million (6 million) over 18 years for what the club claims were technical reports.
Laporta had previously been under fire for not reacting to the accusations, but in a 35-minute address, he repeatedly insisted that Barcelona had done nothing illegal and charged Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga and Madrid, with having ulterior intentions by supporting the prosecution.
FC Barcelona has never taken any action to manipulate the competition to acquire a competitive edge, according to Laporta. The tax authorities have not been able to demonstrate how the payments may have changed the outcome in any way. And because it was impossible, they were unable to demonstrate it.
Laporta informed reporters that there were 629 technical reports in two boxes of paperwork and CDs.
43 CDs and referees.
It is not criminally wrong to pay for advice, he continued. We carried it out openly and honestly. In the club's accounting, there exist invoices that have been documented.
The invoices are transferred to the club's accounts by bank transfer and are itemized. Nothing has been intentionally concealed.
Barcelona is also charged with fraud, but Laporta claimed that if anyone had an interest in profiting, the club would be the one who would suffer. Some individuals may have utilized the situation to engage in questionable behavior for their gain. We have a strong incentive to see the investigation through to its conclusion.
Laporta first attacked Tebas, the president of La Liga, declaring: "He has been extremely unprofessional." I beg him to quit stoking this argument because he is disparaging his rivals by making unfounded claims.
He then said: Before focusing on Real Madrid: The fact that Real Madrid has added its name to the lawsuit,
It is an extraordinary display of cynicism to claim that Barcelona has been wronged in terms of sports during a time when Barcelona was at its finest.
Real Madrid claims they feel mistreated. a team that has historically and currently benefited from referee judgments. whatever the case may be. It has been referred to as the regime's team.
UEFA was persuaded to join the lynching precisely at the time when we had demonstrated our desire to alter the European competition, according to Laporta, who also placed the blame on Aleksander Ceferin.
