Barcelona president Joan Laporta didn’t hold back in a brutal tirade against Real Madrid, accusing Los Blancos of trying to “discredit Barça” and “harming football” with their insistence to extend the Negreira case.
During the recent international break, UEFA announced Real Madrid submitted “a substantial amount of documents related to the ongoing investigation into Barcelona in the matter involving José María Enríquez Negreira.” Los Blancos president Florentino Pérez promised this would happen soon after winning Real Madrid’s presidential elections early in the summer.
