Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has launched a fierce attack on La Liga, labeling it Real Madrid’s “eternal enemy” and accusing it of protecting systematic corruption involving Barcelona in the Negreira case.
In a highly combative statement, Pérez declared: “La Liga is our eternal ENEMY! They have a systematic corruption in the Negreira case with Barcelona.”
He added defiantly: “But we will FIGHT. I fight everyone.”
Pérez then revealed concrete action: “We are preparing a 500-page file that I will send to UEFA regarding this corruption case.”
Pérez Vows War Against La Liga and Corruption
The outspoken president did not hold back, framing the situation as a direct confrontation between Real Madrid and what he sees as biased governance in Spanish football. The Negreira case — involving Barcelona’s payments to former refereeing vice-president José María Enríquez Negreira — has been a major point of tension for years, and Pérez now appears determined to escalate the matter internationally.
Background: The Negreira Case
The Negreira scandal centers on millions of euros paid by Barcelona to companies owned by Negreira during his time as a senior refereeing official. Real Madrid has long expressed dissatisfaction with how Spanish football authorities have handled the investigation.
Pérez’s announcement that a 500-page dossier will be delivered to UEFA signals a serious attempt to take the matter to the highest levels of European football.
