La Liga chief Javier Tebas comes in defense of Real Madrid, says it doesn’t matter whether they were ‘supported’ by Franco or not

La Liga president Javier Tebas has commented on Real Madrid’s video against Barcelona after the Blaugrana president Joan Laporta accused the Los Blancos of being the ‘regime’ team amidst the ongoing referee scandal case. “Real Madrid’s video? La Liga has no comments about it. It doesn’t matter which team Franco supported,” he said.

This week a new scandal broke out with the statements by Joan Laporta at the press conference in which he appeared for the Negreira Case. There he fired against Real Madrid. ”For 70 years, those who have designated the people who had to deliver justice on the pitch have been either former partners or former players or former directors of Real Madrid. The regime team”.

The response was not long in coming from the White House, which published a video on its official accounts on different social media platforms, with which it targeted the Blaugrana institution for its alleged links with the dictator Francisco Franco. “I would not have made the video that Real Madrid has broadcast. What Joan Laporta said about the regime’s team did not contribute anything either,” Tebas said.

“Regarding the relationship with Laporta, I have been talking to him and I always try to maintain a good relationship, which does not mean that they will be favored or not. “There has always been communication with Barcelona. One thing that has been made clear is that the one who should have called the clubs to explain it was him because the irregularity is from Barcelona. We are not going to call to encourage him,” Tebas said.

LaLiga president Javier Tebas insists Barcelona counterpart Joan Laporta “didn’t clarify anything” after addressing clubs about the Negreira Case. Laporta spoke to Primera and Segunda Division clubs at the Extraordinary General Assembly for La Liga about Barca’s investigation. Afterward, Tebas said: “When you are close to one the tone has lowered, his and mine with him. They are not false documents, they are documents from Contreras’ safe, which Negreira’s son invoiced through him.”

“We contributed it, with comments with some names that we thought were involved. It is already a coincidence, but if it is proven that they are other people, then the document loses force. I don’t think Barcelona bought referees. What we believe is that those payments could influence something, but only the intention can be punishable conduct.”

He also said: “It has not been clarified. We have not had a constant debate on this topic. He considers that it was sufficiently clear and we believe that it was not. It was not a press conference, he has been intervening with Gil Marn, the interventions were very repetitive and there was nothing more to add. “We have cut because there were more people who wanted to intervene. Real Madrid has not intervened.”
