What did Xavi say about Real Madrid?
The Blaugrana bank strategist supported the words of Joan Laporta, who described the work of Real Madrid TV as “shameful” after the controversial victory of the White House against Almería in the local competition.
“I've already said that I don't like the way they conditioned the referees. I think it distorts the competition and the referees become conditioned. The Negreira case did not bring us together. It's a reality, but we have to compete with it. I Share the President's words one hundred percent. (…) I am not the president of the association or LaLiga. I'm surprised we allow these things to happen. It completely distorts the competition,” he remarked before the game against Alavés.
