Joan Laporta: "Barcelona are not favoured by referees, they have favoured Real Madrid all their lives"

Joan Laporta was in Andorra on Friday for the presentation of the book Principado azulgrana: un pais con sentimiento cule. The Barcelona president reviewed the current situation at the club and launched, above all, harsh barbs against Real Madrid and Florentino Perez. The lawyer said that the referees favor Xabi Alonso's team and considered that Los Blancos want to throw Javier Tebas out of LaLiga.

Last matchday, Real Madrid scored two goals that for me should not have been allowed, and now Barcelona would be leading LaLiga

Refereeing help for Real Madrid

"Now that I remember the statements in the Real Madrid Assembly, which I have not had the opportunity to comment on and now that I am in Andorra I comment on them. I think they are offside, they denote the Barcelona attitude that Madrid has. It seems that they have to talk about Barca to justify I don't know what. They are present at all times in the judicial process of the 'Negreira Case', which they are stretching like a chewing gum because they know that there is nothing, but it is a way to justify something that is not true: Barca has never bought a referee and Barca generally do not favor referees. They have favored Madrid all their lives. Not to go any further, last matchday, he scores two goals that for me, it is clear that Bellingham touches the ball with his arm and in the other Vinicius breaks Iñaki's nose, and those two goals should not have gone up and now Barca would be leading La Liga."

Real Madrid TV

"Real Madrid TV is trying to influence the referees every week."

Persecutory delusion

"They have a persecution mania against the best period in Barca's history, they did not like that Barca was the world reference, from 2004 to 2015, when Barca was hegemonic, and they want to look for justifications that do not go anywhere. We were the team that played the best, recognized, admired and esteemed for what we gave, recognized for what we did and admired for how we did it. We won many titles and Barca's play was admired all over the world, so don't look for excuses of a bad payer, we would be leaders."

Real Madrid's criticism of Tebas makes me think, they want to get rid of him and put someone...

Real Madrid's criticism of Tebas

"If they are installed in the barcelonistis, I am delighted, because generally they are times that Barca is successful and triumphs. After the statements of the Assembly, to attack the president of LaLiga, it makes me think badly. I have had my ups and downs with Javier Tebas, he is a noble person who lives with great passion his position. We have a normal relationship, not one of privilege, which we do not pretend. We have a normal relationship and Madrid has a confrontational relationship with La Liga and is obsessed with kicking him out and will want to put someone... I do not trust that strategy. Tebas does everything he can for the best for LaLiga, so it makes me suspect that driven by Madrid they try to get him out to put who?".
