"Let's prepare for a great match where we're all convinced our team will give us great joy. Our opponent has created an atmosphere around the refereeing team that is out of place. With what their television network is doing, they're influencing the referees; it's a strategy for winning that shouldn't exist. They can't say the referees are hurting them or favoring Barça. We're not playing the victim; we'll try to win at the Bernabéu once again."
"In a Clásico, it's the match of greatest rivalry, and the players want to give their all. I know our players are highly motivated; whoever plays, we'll have a chance. I'm convinced they'll give us something to cheer about, that we'll win at the Bernabéu, as they've been doing. Last year, for example, it happened."
Barcelona accuses Real Madrid TV of creating an inappropriate atmosphere around the refereeing team and of attempting to influence officials as a strategy to win. The club rejects portraying itself as a victim and intends to pursue victory at the Bernabéu. Players are described as highly motivated for the Clásico, which is framed as the rivalry's biggest match. Confidence is expressed that any lineup will have a chance and that the team can provide supporters with reasons to celebrate, citing past successful results at the Bernabéu as precedent for expecting another win.
