"It's not normal for the president of La Liga to promote a match outside of Spain. Even Barcelona's captain, Frenkie de Jong, doesn't think it's normal."
"It's not normal La Liga supports Barcelona and Villarreal, receiving extra financial incentives for playing in Miami."
"Everyone was against the Miami match. Even the Barcelona players participated in the protests. However, as far as we know, no other club filed a complaint against the CSD (Spanish National Sports Council). Only Real Madrid. We do have that strength."
Florentino Perez used Real Madrid's General Assembly to attack La Liga and Barcelona, reviving criticism of the abandoned 'Miami Plan' that would have staged a league match between Barcelona and Villarreal in the United States. The plan collapsed mainly because of political, financial, and logistical barriers rather than intervention by Real Madrid. Perez accused La Liga of double standards by supporting Barcelona and Villarreal with extra incentives, while previously advocating global expansion when it benefited Real Madrid commercially. Perez positioned Real Madrid as the sole club to file a complaint with the Spanish National Sports Council and referenced refereeing controversies, invoking the Negreira case to question Barcelona's integrity.
