Watch – Barcelona president’s response over Florentino Perez’s referee complaints to RFEF chief | OneFootball

Barcelona president Joan Laporta offered a sarcastic response when questioned about recent remarks made by Rafael Louzan, the newly appointed president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.

Louzan’s comments touched on the pressures reportedly placed on referees by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, drawing widespread attention.

However, when approached by the media, Laporta simply said, “I didn’t understand any of the questions.”

What’s the story?

Louzan recently discussed his ongoing interactions with Perez, who has consistently voiced concerns about refereeing decisions in Spanish football.

Perez’s frustrations over what he perceives as unfair treatment of his club have been a recurring topic in their conversations. The Real Madrid president has not hesitated to remind Louzan about these issues, often bringing up specific grievances.

One area that continues to fuel tension is the controversial Negreira Case, which centres around alleged payments from Barcelona to a former referee official.

Louzan also revealed that Perez used this case as a key reference point in his discussions, arguing that it reflects broader problems within Spanish football’s refereeing structure.

Louzan confirmed that Perez frequently raises the issue, indicating that the Real Madrid president remains steadfast in his belief that the system has not treated his club fairly.

Laporta has no take

Laporta, however, seemed dismissive of the entire topic, brushing off questions about Louzan’s comments with a sarcastic remark.

His response highlighted a stark contrast between Barcelona’s and Real Madrid’s perspectives on the matter.

While Perez continues to push for reforms and accountability, Laporta appears less inclined to engage in public debates over refereeing controversies.

The ongoing friction between these two footballing giants over refereeing decisions adds another layer to the intense rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

As discussions about fairness and transparency in Spanish football persist, it remains to be seen whether these high-profile exchanges will lead to any meaningful changes or simply deepen existing divisions.
