After Paying Negreira, Laporta's Advisor Links Real Madrid to the CTA

Real Madrid continues to be at the center of controversy due to their reactions to the refereeing body. Besides what happened on the eve of the Copa del Rey final, the "Negreira case" continues to generate many comments and analyses about Spanish referees in recent times. It also opens the possibility for attacks on Real Madrid, like the one recently made by an advisor close to Joan Laporta.

The Copa del Rey final sparked much discussion even before the match began. Real Madrid, in response to the appointment of the referees, expressed their displeasure, especially after the referees' statements. Although the match ended up being played, being one of the best of the year, Real Madrid received countless criticisms.

One of the most striking was made by Laporta's advisor, Enric Masip. "Most of the CTA presidents have been Real Madrid members," he commented in an evident and strong attack on Real Madrid. Through these words, Masip has pointed to Real Madrid as the main beneficiary of having a member as the president of the CTA.

"For two years, much of the press has been talking only about the 'Negreira Case'; Every time Barça has done well, the same thing has come up." These last words have shown that Masip, desperately, has tried to defend Barça.

The Attack on Real Madrid

The history between Real Madrid and Spanish soccer refereeing is a never-ending story. Despite not having major problems for much of the season, the refereeing stood out for its poor decisions during several matchdays. Making decisions that ended up taking the LaLiga lead away from Real Madrid, the club was clearly upset.

This led Real Madrid to demand changes in refereeing for the benefit of all LaLiga clubs. Despite their clear intentions, Real Madrid ended up receiving criticisms like those from Masip, questioning the values of the merengue institution.

Masip's words have been a regrettable attack with which he has sought to make it clear that Madrid has no right to complain. Implying that Real Madrid has been favored by the CTA, it seems Masip has forgotten whom he advises.

The Issue with the CTA

For some years now, it has been confirmed what everyone knew, Real Madrid is the most honorable team in Spain while Barcelona is not. Pointed out for various controversies throughout their history, the criticisms of the culés are well deserved.
