Real Madrid President Florentino Perez and FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta clashed head-on over the issue of `buying referees.'

According to foreign media such as Spanish media 'As' on the 29th (Korea time), Chairman Laporta strongly protested against Chairman Perez, who criticized Barcelona with the 'judgment purchase case' in mind.

The first person to open the door was Chairman Perez. At the Real Madrid Socio (club member) General Assembly held on the 24th, he again mentioned Barcelona's alleged purchase of referees 'Negrara incident'.




The "Negrara incident" is an alleged referee buyout caused by Barcelona's payment of about 8 million euros to a company owned by then-CTA Vice President Enriquez Negrara and his son between 2001 and 2018. The prosecution authorities have charged and the trial is still underway.

At the general meeting at the time, Perez said it was unusual for Barcelona to pay more than €8 million over 17 years for the vice-president of the referee's organization. Vice-chairman Nerreira played an important role within the organization and, strangely, the timing of Barcelona's best results in Spain overlaps with the payment period.

"In the 21st century, the difference in the number of exits for Real Madrid is '-2". Real Madrid has 126 red cards and 124 opponents. Barcelona, on the other hand, is '+61'. Barcelona has 108 and opponents 169"On the other hand, both sides are similar in the European leagues. Barcelona stirred up suspicions, saying it was '+12' and Real Madri was '+13'.




In response, Laporta directly refuted Perez's remarks in an interview with the media on the 29th, stressing that it is Real Madrid, not Barcelona, that has benefited from the referee.

Chairman Laporta recalled the General Assembly of Real Madrid. I haven't had a chance to comment like this. That (Mr. Perez's comments) seems to be offside (a foul, meaning he crossed the line). Real Madrid are showing their obsession with Barcelona.

He then added "Real Madrid seems to be obliged to throw up in Barcelona. I don't know what you want to justify. Real Madrid continues to follow the trial of the `Negrayra case.' It's like a gum. Real Madrid know there is nothing there (the referee's buyout) but want to justify what is not true"Barcelona has never bought the referee and has never benefited from the referee. Real Madrid has benefited all the time."




"Real Madrid is just jealous of Barcelona's golden age..." was Laporta's interpretation of Perez's remarks.
