Laporta blasts Real Madrid: It's wrong to use your own TV station to put pressure on referees
6686 Sports News on October 26 According to the "As" report, Barcelona President Laporta publicly criticized Real Madrid when participating in a fan event on Saturday, saying that Real Madrid used its own TV station to put pressure on the referees, trying to influence the game ruling through public opinion, creating an unfavorable situation for Barcelona.
Laporta said unceremoniously in his speech: "This approach is wrong." He believed that Real Madrid frequently spoke out through the media platforms it controlled and continued to hint or criticize the referees. In essence, it was exerting invisible pressure and destroying the fairness of the competition.
Although Barcelona is about to face a serious personnel crisis - core players such as Rafinha, Lewandowski, and Garvey are unable to play due to injury or suspension, and coach Flick is also unable to direct the game due to suspension, Laporta is still confident. He emphasized: "The team's competitive state is very good, and the whole team is determined to win. We will go to the Bernabeu with only one goal: to win!"
Laporta also responded to the recent controversy surrounding referee decisions. He specifically pointed out that Real Madrid cannot complain about the referee being "unfair to them" or "favoring Barcelona". These remarks were obviously a counterattack against the public opinion storm caused by Yamal's previous evaluation of Real Madrid.
Laporta emphasized that Barcelona will not play the role of a "victim" like some teams, nor will they rely on media hype to gain sympathy. "We must speak with strength and focus on playing well in the game."
During the event, Laporta also appealed to Barcelona fans around the world, hoping that everyone would unite and continue to support the club's reconstruction. He said: "Barcelona is not just a football club, it is an emotion, an almost invincible force." He especially thanked the fan associations and members around the world for never leaving the club during difficult times.
Finally, he firmly stated: "Barcelona is stronger now than in the past. We have never been intimidated by those 'doomsday prophecies'. On the contrary, we are more determined than ever to lead the club completely out of the trough and back to the top."
