Sports Weekly reports from all media

On November 23, Real Madrid held a club members meeting. This was originally Real Madrid's own grand event, but because of President Florentino's speech, it felt like a "declaration of war". At the meeting, Lafayette criticized UEFA, Barcelona, ​​La Liga's overseas matches, and Tebas. Only FIFA received his praise. This fierce fire also resulted in Tebas's counterattack from a distance. The chairman of La Liga angrily said: "Florentino claims to be the only person who knows the truth. This is to be expected, because he refreshes his lower limit every year. This is probably because he is frustrated that fewer and fewer people follow him!" There is only one word in mind: "win." According to him, Real Madrid has overthrown UEFA. Any sanctions against the European Super League are all nonsense, and UEFA should bow their heads and admit their mistakes. "Now, with the introduction of devastating judgments, the situation is completely different. However, in the face of these judgments, La Liga and UEFA tried to downplay it and only talked about the so-called peace. They thought we were fools. Among the 23 dispute points, we won. 21, they even have to pay us the legal fees!" Lafayette also mentioned that UEFA was urging Real Madrid to return to the European Club Association (ECA), but his attitude was "no" because "that would be equivalent to voluntarily giving up the right to claim billions of euros."

In comparison, UEFA is not the most criticized, Florentino's old rival Tebas and the "former European Super League ally" Barcelona are. When talking about the situation of La Liga, Lafayette mentioned the CVC capital injection agreement and the La Liga overseas games that once again "died before they started". He said that the CVC agreement will mortgage part of the income for the next 50 years, which will definitely hinder the development of La Liga. He also firmly believes that this agreement will be annulled in court. Speaking of this, Lafayette also specifically hinted that Barcelona, which originally filed a lawsuit with Real Madrid, was a traitor and had been "bought" by Tevas: "Coincidentally, in La Liga, Barcelona withdrew from the lawsuit after the League allowed it to register players."

According to Florentino, the La Liga president is "arbitrary" and the proposal of overseas games "tarnishes the purity of La Liga" and will allow some teams to unfairly have additional benefits (again, referring to Barcelona). Then Lafayette brought up the "Negrera case" again, suggesting that Barcelona relied on bribing referees to achieve its glorious moment. "Barcelona Club has paid more than 8 million euros to the Vice Chairman of the Referee Committee for at least 17 years. Whatever the reason, this is unreasonable. The Vice President of Referees shoulders important responsibilities, and this period happened to be the same period as Barcelona in Spain." "I have a question, do you think it's normal for Real Madrid players to have more Champions League trophies than league titles? Some people have only won 6 Champions League trophies, but most of them are 4. As the president, I am the same. Is this normal?" Florentino said loudly. Such accusations are obviously very serious, but it is not the first time Real Madrid and Barcelona have fallen out. As early as April this year, Barcelona president Laporta argued that Barcelona had been slandered, and Real Madrid was the club that benefited the most from the refereeing issue. Instead, calling himself the victim was simply "shameless."

As for Tebas, who has always been at odds with Florentino, he acted quickly this time and immediately issued a "point-by-point refutation" through social media. There is a lot of content, some of the ideas are not new, but the words are as provocative as ever. Tebas reiterated: "Florentino Pérez is something of a 'pope' as a lobbyist. The conference calls and lunches he has conducted over the years to exert influence must have yielded far more than we have disclosed."
