"After days of silence, Joan Laporta has recently broken his silence on Florentino Perez and the questionable comments he made during Real Madrid's Extraordinary General Assembly earlier this month. Replying to Perez, Laporta accused Real Madrid of being obsessed with Barcelona, even claiming that the team has 'Barcelonitis". Real Madrid, as an institution, have refused to respond to Laporta's pullback. However, that hasn't stopped Xabi Alonso from responding to Laporta."
"Speaking ahead of Real Madrid's weekend clash against Girona (h/t SPORT), Alonso, who has a close relationship with Perez, responded to Laporta's comments about Real Madrid and their obsession with Barça. It appears the Real Madrid coach was particularly cross with Laporta insinuating that Real Madrid's two goals against Elche earlier in the season could have been easily disallowed. Addressing Laporta, Alonso accused the Barcelona president of sending "Populist messages pandering to their fans. We focus on the field, on winning it in a sporting way, every game is a test for it and we have to show it"."
