Gaspart's Resentful Attack on Florentino After the Copa Final: 'Pure Comedy'

The former president of FC Barcelona, Joan Gaspart, went to Canaletas this past Saturday night. He arrived there to join the supporters of the blaugrana team and celebrate the victory of Hansi Flick's team in the Cup final. Barça defeated Real Madrid (3-2) in a match that was decided in extra time and could have gone either way.

"The fact that I'm not an executive doesn't mean I'm not a 'culé.' Until death. I'm here to enjoy," commented Joan Gaspart upon his arrival at Canaletas.

A Message to Florentino Pérez Taking Advantage of the Victory

Joan Gaspart, a well-known anti-Madridist, took the opportunity to send a message to Florentino Pérez during the celebration. "I give him a zero; pure comedy to threaten that they weren't going to play," he stated.

However, the former president of FC Barcelona had kind words for the players of Real Madrid.

"Above all, the Madrid players, a 10, the president a 0. The club has behaved very poorly. They have given a lesson to the Madrid players, to their club, about what true sportsmanship is," added Gaspart later.

The Reasons for His Comment to Florentino Pérez

As everyone knows, the reasons for Joan Gaspart's anger with Florentino Pérez focus on what happened last Friday. "The snub to the Spanish Federation, the comments against the referee, and all that pure comedy of threatening not to play. All this with the intention of influencing the referee," he explained.

Additionally, Joan Gaspart added that Real Madrid achieved their goal with the referees. "In fact, they have succeeded, because there were plays, clear penalties, that weren't called," he stated.

"Therefore, it's not correct to think that soccer is this. Soccer is what the Madrid players have shown in the end. Like gentlemen, they greeted the Barça players, while Mr. Florentino Pérez was in the box with an unfriendly face," he concluded.

In that regard, it should be noted that the players of Real Madrid, beyond the moments of tension, showed good sportsmanship. Each and every one of the footballers on the squad stayed to applaud FC Barcelona and congratulate them on the victory.
