Laporta on Barça-gate: "The referees have always favoured Real Madrid."
During his presser about Barça-gate, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta had some choice words for Real Madrid.
On Monday, Barça-gate was the topic of a press conference by FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta. During his news conference, Laporta made an effort to defend his team while also deciding to criticise Real Madrid.
"I want to acknowledge a club that made the autonomous decision to show up in court throughout the trial. a team that claims to have been wronged and has historically benefited from referee favouritism. Because they were close to the political and financial power, they formed the system's team.
It's important to note, in my opinion, that throughout seven decades the vast majority of the presidents of the Technical Committee of Refereeing have been former members or players of Real Madrid. Former Real Madrid players or members served as the referee assigners for 70 years. In some circumstances, all of those concurrently. This trial will be used to remove the clubs' masks so they may testify in court and claim they were victimised during Barcelona's greatest moment. Laporta remarked that it was an unusual act of impudence.
The president emphasised that this incident "isn't a coincidence" and that Barcelona "is coming back to life after a difficult period" as a result of it.
The relationship between the two clubs has undoubtedly reached an all-time low as a result of Laporta's news conference and Real Madrid's decision to participate in the trial. And when we're talking about Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
According to club president Joan Laporta, an investigation into allegations that Barcelona paid referees for special treatment is a part of a smear campaign.
Authorities assert Barcelona gave the former vice-president of Spain's referees committee, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, 8.4 million euros (£7.4 million).
According to Barcelona, the funds were for consulting services.
Laporta declared, "This is one of the most vicious attacks in our history."
"I am certain that FC Barcelona hasn't engaged in any corruption-related sporting crimes. I hope it is completely cleared sooner rather than later.
"I ask FC Barcelona supporters to be as unified as ever in defence of our crest, our core values, and our ownership model, which is that of a team owned by all of its players," the club's statement reads.
