""Florentino 's words struck me as pathetic and full of falsehoods. The club already issued a statement yesterday considering legal action, but I want to say that this maneuver by Florentino Pérez to cover up a sporting disaster that has been going on for two years will get him nowhere," he said, per Mundo Deportivo."
""It's pointless to talk about Negreira again when we've won two leagues with a project featuring players from La Masia and others who came from elsewhere. We're winning it by 14 points, and this is just a smokescreen to try and justify poor management. Barça fans are very happy, and nothing will take that away from us.""
""Seven stolen league titles? That's completely false. Objectively speaking, it's not true. He'll know, we're going to defend ourselves, we owe it to the fans and the club, and nobody touches the club.""
""Yes of course," he told reporters. "We all know what has happened for over 20 years... We'd all love the [Negreira] case to be resolved.""
Florentino Pérez made remarks at an extraordinary press conference that prompted a response from Barcelona acting president Rafa Yuste. Barcelona said it was examining whether to take legal action and Yuste criticized Pérez’s comments as pathetic and full of falsehoods. Yuste argued that Pérez’s attempt to revisit the Negreira issue was a smokescreen for poor management and that Barcelona’s success undermined the claims. He pointed to two league titles won with a project involving La Masia players and others from elsewhere, including a large points margin. Yuste also denied “seven stolen league titles,” saying the figure was completely false and that Barcelona would defend itself. Real Madrid manager Álvaro Arbeloa agreed with Pérez’s framing, saying Madrid had been “robbed of seven leagues” and hoping for resolution of the Negreira case. Real Madrid then prepared for their final three games of a trophyless season.
