Florentino Pérez once again points to FC Barcelona in the Negreira case

Florentino Pérez once again placed FC Barcelona at the center of the controversy over the Negreira case. The Real Madrid president took advantage of the traditional Christmas meeting with the media to insist on his discourse about the refereeing system and demand justice for what he described as "the biggest scandal in the history of football".

Far from toning down his rhetoric, the white executive reiterated his criticism of LaLiga and the RFEF, accusing them of having left his club alone in a situation that, in his opinion, calls into question the integrity of the competition.

Florentino Demands Justice and Criticizes Institutions

During his speech, Florentino Pérez stated that the main concern for Real Madrid remains the refereeing situation and the Negreira case, which lasted for almost two decades.

"It's extremely serious. The Negreira case deserves justice. It's incomprehensible that the institutions have left us alone," he stated.

The Real Madrid president did not hide his indignation at the attitude of Spanish football bodies and openly questioned the call to move on

Negreira payments back in the spotlight

Pérez again recalled the payments made by Barça to the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees, insisting that there is no convincing explanation.

"We know that more than 8 million were paid for technical reports that no one has seen. Who can believe it?" he pointed out.

In his speech, he also cited the investigating judge in the case, who spoke of "systemic corruption," and recalled that the Blaugrana club itself acknowledged that those payments were "convenient," a statement that, according to him, remains unclear.

Referee Criticism and Final Warning

Florentino Pérez also found space to criticize recent refereeing performances, such as the match played in Vitoria, and denounced unpunished actions against players like Vinícius and Rodrygo.

The president of Real Madrid closed his speech with a strong warning, stating that the Negreira case could have had irreversible sporting consequences.

"It is possible that some club has been relegated as a victim of this situation. A lot of damage has been done to our football and justice must be served," he concluded.

Amidst accusations and reproaches, Florentino Pérez finally wished the journalists happy holidays and underscored the media's role in what he considers a fight for the cleanliness of Spanish football, keeping alive a narrative that once again points to Barça as the protagonist of the case.
