Joan Laporta attended, along with Dani Olmo, the celebration of the anniversary of the 'Penya Barcelonista 1900' in Terrassa, the hometown of the 27-year-old midfielder, who is still recovering from a shoulder injury. The Barça supporters' club inaugurated its new headquarters, and the Blaugrana president, in a brief meeting with the press, took the opportunity to send another 'dart' at Florentino Pérez.
The president of Real Madrid, during the 'White House' Christmas cocktail party, once again lashed out at the Blaugrana team for its involvement in the 'Negreira case'. Pérez once again called for justice to clarify the payments made by Barça to the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) for 18 years, insinuating favors from the referees towards the Catalans during that period.
Laporta believes Florentino is trying to cover up Madrid's crisis with the 'Negreira case'
Regarding this, Laporta was blunt in stating that the Real Madrid leadership "is not handling" Barça's good results in 2025. Hansi Flick's team swept the domestic titles and has already secured finishing the year as LaLiga leaders, while Madrid struggles to sustain Xabi Alonso's cycle, at least until January.
"Joy has returned to Barcelona's fans, and it seems that, from somewhere, they can't stand it," began the president of Fútbol Club Barcelona during the inauguration of the new headquarters of Penya 1900.In that regard, he added: "Others, to divert attention from their shortcomings, have to talk only about Barça. I'll talk about this later, not here, because I think it's getting a bit out of hand. We have to think about Barça," 'Jan' concluded.
Joan Laporta boasts about Barça's recovery and return to the Camp Nou
On the other hand, the Barça president highlighted the club's economic and sporting recovery during his tenure, preserving the stability of the members, in addition to **recovering "institutional order and prestige."** In turn, he boasted about the renovation of the Spotify Camp Nou and its reopening last November.
"It is true that we still do not have the 1C license that would allow us to open the North Goal and the animation stand. We will continue working to finish the third tier... With only the two tiers completed, the Camp Nou will already be a pressure cooker," argued Laporta.
Likewise, the president valued the results obtained at Montjuïc, although he understands that Lluís Companys "is not a football field." "It is an Olympic stadium that had a different way of enjoying football. Barça members and fans will help the team win at Spotify Camp Nou."
