\u201cRelationship with Real Madrid? Not good. They got involved in Negreira case, which is unacceptable,\u201d said Laporta in a press conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In March 2023, Barca, ex-club officials and the former vice-president of Spanish football\u2019s refereeing committee, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, were indicted for \u201ccorruption\u201d, \u201cbreach of trust\u201d and \u201cfalse business records\u201d over payments made by the club.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Following the allegations, Spanish outlet Marca reported that a Madrid spokesperson claimed the club believed the allegations to be 'indications of sports corruption' from Barcelona\u2019s side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Laporta then proceeded to call a press conference and called Real Madrid a \"team of the regime\".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Real then responded with a four-minute video outlining Barcelona's links with former Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, in an apparent response to a comment made by the Blaugrana president. The video showed Barcelona's connections with Franco through archive footage and text.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In May 2024, the Provincial Court of Barcelona ruled against the judge\u2019s decision to pursue further potential charges of bribery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Another situation that has been spoken about Barcelona in recent times is the club's financial struggles. However, Laporta also spoke about the club\u2019s current financial strength and the signing of Dani Olmo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
