Joan Laporta criticized Florentino Pérez after a press conference about the Negreira case and refereeing controversies in Spanish football. Laporta accused Real Madrid of attempting to divert attention from sporting failures while attacking Barcelona publicly. He described Pérez’s press conference as filled with falsehoods, a smokescreen, and a strategy to shift focus after two years without winning anything. Laporta also said Real Madrid invested heavily but still had not won anything and had fanned the flames of its own miseries. Álvaro Arbeloa responded by saying Laporta’s words did not concern him personally and that Real Madrid remained clear in prior discussions. He said Laporta likely referred to the Negreira case and that a decision was still awaited due to its gravity. He also questioned why referees linked to the case continued officiating matches during the investigation.
"It was a grotesque press conference, full of falsehoods regarding the Negreira case, a smokescreen and a strategy to divert attention after two years without winning anything."
"They've invested heavily and still haven't won anything. They've fanned the flames of their own miseries."
"I don't pay much attention to Laporta's words. We have always been very clear in everything we have discussed."
"I imagine he is referring to the Negreira case, and we are still awaiting a decision on a matter of such gravity."
