Tremendous 'Clapback' from Juanma to Barça after the 10-Point Lead in La Liga

The commentator from 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' had no doubts about his comment on social media

Real Madrid's victory during their visit to the new José Zorilla has definitively solidified the change in LaLiga's standings. Gaining three more points, as happened against Las Palmas, means pulling four points ahead of Atlético de Madrid. Diego Pablo Simeone's team drew, in their own stadium, against Villarreal.

In any case, Madrid seems to have redirected their performance in LaLiga and doesn't seem willing to give up a lead that could be decisive. Especially because of the upcoming commitments on the calendar, which are very important for the competitive future of the current season.

It is clear that it's a moment of joy for Madrid, who have regained good feelings for the remainder of the season. Juanma Rodríguez, taking advantage of the excellent moment being experienced among the merengue supporters, has issued a curious reminder through his social media.

As has happened on previous occasions, the commentator from El Chiringuito de Jugones isn't willing to let everything related to the "Negreira case" be forgotten. Thus, he would've made it clear that "I'm just here to remind you that Madrid is 10 points ahead of the team that paid the referees' vice president for 17 years".

Acquired habit

Once again, Juanma Rodríguez insists on the most striking aspect of the "Negreira case", an investigation that remains unsolved and points to FC Barcelona and former club executives. Regardless of whether it's a victory or a defeat for Real Madrid, Juanma Rodríguez doesn't miss his particular reminder through the social network X, formerly known as Twitter.

The refereeing controversy remains very present in Spanish football. Not only because of the scandal uncovered almost two years ago, but also because of the referees' decisions toward the clubs at the top of the league standings.

Juanma Rodríguez hasn't held back his opinion since the outbreak of the "Negreira case", in any sense. So much so that he has endured various confrontations, especially with Jota Jordi, based on the relationship between the former vice president of the CTA and previous FC Barcelona boards.

There is no doubt that those reminders will continue during this and the upcoming seasons, especially if Real Madrid is harmed by the referees... in the opinion of the panelist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones". The continued victories of the white club are just more opportunities to demonstrate that Juanma Rodríguez doesn't forget this circumstance.
