Joan Laporta, current and former president of Barcelona, has launched a strong attack on his main rival in the presidential race, Victor Font. Laporta described Font as a 'technocrat' lacking passion and vision, running Barcelona like a computer program rather than a club driven by heart.
Laporta was particularly critical of Font's recent comments regarding the Negreira case, calling them disrespectful to Barcelona fans. He also accused Font of plagiarism, claiming many of Font's proposals were copied from sports reform meetings rather than original ideas.
In addition to criticizing Font, Laporta addressed the recent Real Madrid 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo. He argued that Real Madrid's winning goal should have been disallowed due to a preceding foul, contrasting it with a similar situation involving Barcelona where a goal was correctly ruled out.
These remarks underscore deep fractures within Barcelona as the election approaches and cast doubt on the impartiality of refereeing decisions in La Liga. The questions of leadership at Barcelona and fairness in Spanish football remain pressing and contentious, adding tension to the club's political landscape.
