Joan Laporta takes pop at Madrid over Negreira case
The president gave a spoiler of what he will speak about on Monday
Joan Laporta has taken advantage of FC Barcelona's match against Getafe this afternoon (4.15pm) to visit supporters at a Blaugrana fan club in Madrid and give them a small 'spoiler' of the explanations about the 'Negreira case' that he will give this Monday in a press conference. The president has made it clear to the Barcelona fans that the club's enemies "have nothing" against the club "because there is nothing".
"They have nothing because there is nothing. Here what they have done is to magnify a situation that one of the people who was linked to these companies was a former referee and a former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees. [Negreira] did not have any capacity to alter the results of any match because he did not designate the referees," said the Barça president to the supporters.
The president also criticised Real Madrid for joining the case against the club on the grounds that it is "a club that has historically been very favoured in terms of refereeing". "I think it's nonsense. We love Barça and we are not going to allow our beloved Barça feelings be sullied," said Laporta.
"Tomorrow we will explain everything," he concluded.
This Monday, from 11.00 am, the Barça president will appear in the Auditori 1899 of the Spotify Camp Nou to give explanations about the 'Negreira case'.
