Real Madrid president Florentino P\u00e9rez has launched a fierce attack on La Liga, labeling it Real Madrid\u2019s \u201ceternal enemy\u201d and accusing it of protecting systematic corruption involving Barcelona in the Negreira case.<\/p>\n
In a highly combative statement, P\u00e9rez declared: \u201cLa Liga is our eternal ENEMY! They have a systematic corruption in the Negreira case with Barcelona.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n He added defiantly: \u201cBut we will FIGHT. I fight everyone.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n P\u00e9rez then revealed concrete action: \u201cWe are preparing a 500-page file that I will send to UEFA regarding this corruption case.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n 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 \u2014 involving Barcelona\u2019s payments to former refereeing vice-president Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Enr\u00edquez Negreira \u2014 has been a major point of tension for years, and P\u00e9rez now appears determined to escalate the matter internationally.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n P\u00e9rez\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Real Madrid president Florentino P\u00e9rez has launched a fierce attack on La Liga, labeling it Real Madrid\u2019s \u201ceternal enemy\u201d and\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":51845,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2327],"class_list":["post-51844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-florentino-perez"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51844"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51844\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51846,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51844\/revisions\/51846"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}P\u00e9rez Vows War Against La Liga and Corruption<\/h3>\n
