Barcelona president Joan Laporta has strongly criticised Real Madrid following fresh accusations connected to the long-running Negreira controversy recently publicly.
Laporta responded after Real Madrid president Florentino Perez claimed the club had been unfairly denied several league titles previously historically.
Speaking during the Koeman Cup by Fundacion Sportium event, Laporta dismissed the allegations and defended Barcelona against growing criticism recently again.
The Barcelona president insisted the Negreira case was built on false claims and accused Real Madrid of creating unnecessary distractions publicly lately, reports Barca Universal.
According to Laporta, Madrid are using Barcelona to shift attention away from their disappointing performances and lack of trophies during recent seasons.
