"What they are doing is an aberration" - Barcelona chief Joan Laporta hits out at Real Madrid on multiple fronts

Real Madrid TV’s regular releasing of referee scrutiny videos has become a very controversial topic in the world of Spanish football. RMTV often uses highlight reels to point out the “errors” from officials for its upcoming matches, which many see as a way of trying to add increased pressure.

Many in La Liga aren’t happy with Real Madrid, and RMTV, because of this. Sevilla have already filed an official complaint with the Spanish Football Federation, which La Liga itself intends to join. Barcelona President Joan Laporta has now added to the criticism, and he has called on the relevant authorities to stop Los Blancos in their tracks, as per MD.

“I’m still angry and indignant because it’s a shame what Real Madrid TV is doing. I think that the football regulators should intervene here because that is influencing, trying to influence the referees every week, every now and then.”

“I think it deserves an exemplary sanction of course. I don’t agree at all with how Real Madrid TV is acting on this issue because it can also adulterate the competition.”

Laporta also confirmed that relations between Barcelona and Real Madrid off the pitch, which had previously been rather good, have soured significantly because of recent events, including the ongoing Negreira case legal proceedings.

“At the moment, there is no good relationship with Real Madrid, because they have appeared in the ‘Negreira case’, and what they are doing is an aberration. They have asked for the instruction to be extended when there is nothing, and they will find nothing because there is nothing. Our version is what it is and the contradictory versions or the versions that have been released have not been able to be tested in any way, because they do not exist. Because
