Confirmed: Barcelona call on La Liga, RFEF and CTA to take action against Florentino Perez

Confirmed: Barcelona call on La Liga, RFEF and CTA to take action against Florentino Perez After Real Madrid issued a statement confirming their submission of a dossier to UEFA against Barcelona regarding the Negreira case , the Catalans have now issued a retort. In an official statement, the Blaugrana have revealed that they have written to the presidents of La Liga, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), and the Referees’ Technical Committee (CTA) to take action against Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. Barcelona statement The statement issued by the reigning La Liga champions reads as follows: “The president of FC Barcelona, ​​Rafael Yuste y Abel, has today sent a formal letter to the presidents of LaLiga, Javier Tebas; the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Rafael Louzan; and the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA), Francisco Soto, in relation to the statements made by the president of Real Madrid CF, Florentino Perez, in various public appearances on May 12 and 13.” Barcelona are referring to the statements made by Perez last month during an explosive press conference where he accused the Catalans of ‘stealing’ several La Liga titles from them with the help of referees. “FC Barcelona believes that these statements, in addition to being false, seriously undermine the honor and image of the First Division League competition, as well as the refereeing body as a whole, and damage the reputation and credibility of Spanish professional football.” Call for action Not stopping there, Barcelona, who have already begun the process of a lawsuit against Perez and Real Madrid, urged the authorities to take action as well in order to defend the integrity of the competition.
