Joan Laporta hasn’t taken well to his team’s defeat in the Clasico on Sunday, April 21, 2024, and intends to take action to seek redress.
For Joan Laporta and his club, Lamine Yamal’s goal was legitimate. He believes that the ball crossed the line and that the referee’s decision was unjust.
Thus, through an official statement, Joan Laporta announced his intention not to let the matter go easily.
“As President of FC Barcelona, I want to express my dissatisfaction with the improper use of VAR […] The Club will take necessary actions to right the wrong, including the possibility of requesting a replay of the match,” stated Joan Laporta.
This statement did not go unnoticed by Real Madrid. However, Florentino Pérez, the president of the Merengues, has no intention of engaging in Joan Laporta’s game.
Thus, the head of the Casa Blanca made it clear that he has no interest in what his counterpart is doing, as reported by Marca. In fact, he believes they are free to use whatever images they want to justify their stance.
Florentino Pérez, therefore, has better things to focus on than this controversy.
As a reminder, with this crucial victory for Real Madrid, the Merengues are steadily heading towards another Liga title with 6 rounds left in the championship.
The Merengues have just had a memorable week and will need to regroup for the upcoming semi-finals, where Carlo Ancelotti’s men will face Bayern Munich for a spot in the Champions League final.
