FC Barcelona has issued an official statement in response to Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez’s fiery press conference, confirming that their legal team is reviewing his strong accusations regarding the Negreira Case and other claims.
In a brief but pointed statement, Barcelona said: “Regarding the press conference called by the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, we inform you that our legal department is carefully studying his statements and accusations.”
Barcelona Chooses Measured Legal Response
Rather than engaging in a public war of words, Barcelona has adopted a calm and calculated approach. The club has avoided direct confrontation in the media and instead directed the matter to its legal department, signaling they are taking Pérez’s accusations seriously and preparing a formal response.
This comes after Pérez launched a series of blistering attacks during his marathon press conference, where he:
- Called the Negreira Case “the most disgraceful scandal in football history”
- Claimed Real Madrid were “robbed” of 18 points this season
- Announced plans to send a dossier to UEFA
- Repeatedly criticized Barcelona and La Liga
Key Context
Pérez’s press conference has dominated headlines, with the Real Madrid president also refusing to resign, calling for early elections, telling critics “they’ll have to shoot me,” and clashing with journalists. His repeated focus on the Negreira Case has once again put the long-running scandal at the center of Spanish football’s biggest rivalry.
