• Joan Laporta Shields himself in 629 "important" reports and 43 CD's made by Negreira's son to argue the payment of 7.5 million euros
  • Language The lip of Madrid, Lenin and the gestures that gave away Laporta's lies

The investigation into the payments made by FC Barcelona to José María Enríquez Negreira, number two of the Technical Committee of Referees, has blown up relations between the Catalan team and Real Madrid. The club chaired by Florentino Pérez, partner of the culés in the Superliga project, has appeared as a private accusation in the case and this morning Joan Laporta has taken out all the artillery against him in the appearance before the media.

"A club that says it feels wronged. A club that has always been favored by refereeing decisions. The team of the Regime, due to its proximity to political and economic power. For 7 decades, most of the presidents of the CTA have been former partners, former players or former directors of Real Madrid. That this club comes forward and says that it feels harmed by the best sporting period in the history of FCB ... This trial will serve to unmask them. It is an exercise in unprecedented cynicism," Laporta said of Madrid, in statements that have surprised at the Bernabeu.

Laporta said that relations with Madrid "are touched" and that the decision to appear in the case is "due to the pressure of the social mass." "It doesn't seem right to me," he insisted.

Tonight, Madrid wanted to answer the president of Barcelona through his television. "What was the team of the Regime?" reads the title of the piece. Next, the club narrates the various relations that Barcelona had with the Franco dictatorship: "The Camp Nou was inaugurated by Franco's General Minister, José Solís Ruiz", "Barcelona awarded the gold and brilliant badge to Franco", "Barcelona named Franco an honorary member in 1965", "Barcelona decorated Franco three times ", "Barcelona was saved three times from bankruptcy with three requalifications by Franco", "Barcelona won 8 Leagues and 9 Generalissimo Cups with Franco"... To which he adds: "With Franco, Real Madrid took 15 years to win the League."

In the video, Madrid also recalls that his club was "dismantled after the Civil War. Players killed, arrested and exiled." "Stolen trophies, the destroyed headquarters, a squad in which there are only 5 players left...", he insists.

And it ends with a phrase from Santiago Bernabéu: "When I hear that Madrid has been the team of the regime, it makes me want to on the father of the one who says it."
