'They want to destroy us' Barcelona's President Joan Laporta addresses the allegations in light of Negreira case

On Saturday, Barcelona held its annual General Assembly, where President Joan Laporta addressed several important topics. A focal point of the discussion was the club's evolving relationships with other teams, particularly in light of the Negreira case. Many clubs have expressed concerns regarding Barcelona, and Laporta took a proactive stance while addressing these challenges, as reported by Diario AS. His remarks aimed to foster understanding and improvement in these relationships moving forward.

Laporta emphasizes on Barçelona's grit and resilience amidst controversy 

Laporta emphasized that Barcelona's anthem embodies a spirit of resilience and determination. This is not about adopting a victim mentality; rather, it reflects the courage of Catalans who stand firm against those who attempt to undermine the club, particularly regarding the Negreira case in court. 

As the legal proceedings unfold, the current circumstances may not be favourable. It seems that every time Barcelona achieves success, renewed scrutiny emerges. Barcelona must maintain its strength and solidarity, standing firm against these challenges. As per Laporta the club is prepared to confront any obstacles, remaining resolute in its journey forward. Together, they will continue to fight for their legacy and values.

“Our anthem says so: we fight against everything and everyone. This is not victimhood. We fight against those who repeatedly say that they appeal to the Negreira case that we are winning in court. Now that they are judging us, the instructions are not favourable. Every time we are doing well, it comes back out. There are people who don’t want us to win, they are angry that we win. To defend ourselves we cannot show weaknesses. They want to destroy us. We are brave and strong. We have to fight against these elements where they come from and what they are looking for.” - Laporta said.

Barcelona has experienced significant frustration over the past 18 months, primarily due to the ongoing investigation related to the Negreira case. Throughout this time, the club has consistently asserted its commitment to transparency and is actively engaging with the relevant authorities as the matter is thoroughly examined.
