Laporta Warns Real Madrid as Feud Over Super League Rift and Negreira Case Deepens
The outburst follows Real Madrid's escalation over the Negreira case after Barcelona moved toward UEFA, distancing itself from the Super League.
Overview
- Speaking in Terrassa, Joan Laporta said the dispute with Real Madrid is "getting out of hand" and accused the club of talking about Barcelona to cover its own shortcomings.
- Laporta highlighted Barcelona's current position in La Liga, noting the team sits first with a four-point lead over second place.
- COPE reported that Florentino Perez views Barcelona’s gradual withdrawal from the Super League as a betrayal, with pressure intensified through the Negreira case.
- Perez has publicly called the Negreira affair "the most serious problem that football has today, even at an international level."
- Barcelona maintains that re-engaging with UEFA and the EFC—signaled by Laporta’s October visit to the Rome assembly—is pragmatic leadership rather than betrayal.
