"Let's prepare for a great match where we're all convinced our team will give us great joy. Our opponent has created an atmosphere around the refereeing team that is out of place. With what their television network is doing, they're influencing the referees; it's a strategy for winning that shouldn't exist. They can't say the referees are hurting them or favouring Barça. We're not playing the victim; we'll try to win at the Bernabéu once again."
""We are better off than before and we haven't fallen into the trap of heeding apocalyptic predictions, which are neither here nor expected. "The Board of Directors, and I, feel stronger, more convinced, and more determined than ever to complete the recovery of the club in all its aspects," said the president in his speech," he said."
Joan Laporta criticised Real Madrid's RMTV for putting pressure on referees and influencing officiating ahead of the first El Clasico. He expressed confidence in Barcelona's chances at the Bernabéu and rejected claims that Barcelona plays the victim. Laporta referenced Lamine Yamal's accusation that Real Madrid cheated and the subsequent backlash from Los Blancos. He stated that the club's financial position has improved and that the board feels stronger and determined to complete the club's recovery. He emphasised team cohesion and the strong bond between fans and players as central to restoring former glory.
