Joan Laporta slams Real Madrid: 'They are against everything and losing international prestige'

Barcelona president Joan Laporta launched a direct verbal attack on Real Madrid, saying the club “are against everything and losing international prestige.” In remarks focused on recognition and trust, Laporta said Barcelona is “going through a wonderful moment” and highlighted that its squad includes nine world champions. He claimed Real Madrid tries to “downplay all of that,” and criticized both UEFA and the EuroLeague as examples of obstructionism. Laporta also pointed to the European Club Association congress, saying Real Madrid did not have representatives there, framing the move as evidence of declining credibility. He concluded that such behavior leads to a “massive loss of trust.”
