Juanma Rodríguez's Reply to Laporta after the Referee Rant: What is a...

Through social media, you can read a considerable amount of quite controversial things regarding the soccer world. In this sense, fans of teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona are always in a constant fight. However, now it's a well-known figure like Juanma Rodríguez who has come out to defend the white club.

This is due to the most recent statements about Joan Laporta and his complaints against the referees, which have surprised many. However, this Madrid commentator from El Chiringuito hasn't missed the opportunity to deliver a new blow to the president's image. "A shame isn't not calling a penalty, a shame is paying 8.4 million euros to the vice president of referees over 17 years; even more shameful is quadrupling his income."

These strong and, above all, very controversial words have caused a considerable amount of comments on social media. However, for many, this is just a small part of everything Barcelona hides and that will come to light.

Juanma is relentless again

This extreme defender of Real Madrid on El Chiringuito de Jugones hasn't taken his foot off the gas on the Negreira issue. What is known as the biggest scandal in the history of Spanish soccer still haunts Barcelona because of people like this.

The forcefulness with which he referred to Laporta's words speaks volumes about the indignation he felt over his words. Besides this, you can also perceive a part of disbelief, as he considers that, being so favored, complaining is hypocritical.

However, the detail that many overlook is the fact that he was the one who multiplied the former referee's income. A situation which, for now, is unknown, but will surely come to light.

He'll continue to be a hammer

Months have passed, and this panelist hasn't stopped being one of the harshest hammers against Barcelona on this issue. Something that seems won't change heading into 2025 and, in fact, will become increasingly harsh and worse if they complain on top of it.
