Barcelona has been in the headlines in recent months in Spain due to not very flattering circumstances.

The "Negreira case" put on the club, according to which Barca allegedly paid referees over the years and skewed results in their favor, made big headlines and presented the club in a very negative light.



Today (Monday) Juan Laforte, the president of Barcelona, ​​held his first press conference in which he directly addressed this affair and said: "For decades we have won and succeeded thanks to our players.

The professional team, the fans.

We are an institution founded on correct values.

We don't win because of such and such judicial favors."

An unprecedented attack against Real Madrid.

"When the controversy came out about Negreira it was clear that this was a timed campaign against Barcelona and its reputation. They wanted to sabotage our legacy but they will not succeed. This campaign has nothing to do with reality. When this case first came out, there were immediate publications by several media outlets who wanted to damage our image. This Not a coincidence. Barcelona never acted to gain an unsportsmanlike advantage. Never. Why can't they prove anything? Because there was nothing."



Laforte presented 629 referee reports and 43 video documents that the club has: "Barcelona received reports from referees, it's not illegal. In big clubs it's completely normal. Everything is done transparently, with invoices and in order."



The president attacked: "Judge us before the trial."

The president of Barcelona severely criticized Javier Tabas, the president of "La Liga" and did not pass over the bitter rival Real Madrid that joined the campaign against Barca: "Real Madrid is a club that historically benefits from refereeing decisions to this day. To this day, the referees union in Spain is made up of former Real players Madrid. So such a club is involved in such a case? It's a joke."

"I hope this trial will remove the mask of Real Madrid and reveal things against it. This whole campaign started exactly when we refused to sign the CVC agreement, coincidence right?. Just when Barca was working to participate in the Super League, the Spanish league and UEFA acted against us.

This is not a coincidence.

The "Nagreira" is not a case of corruption.

Real Madrid believe they will be harmed, but the truth is that this is the club that has harmed football the most for decades.

What Riel is doing is very bad, I hope she will be exposed in court."
