FC Barcelona director and spokesperson Mikel Camps said on Twitter that Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior “should be slapped”.
Real Madrid are furious with these remarks, to the point that Florentino Perez has decided to boycott this weekend’s Clasico. This would be the second consecutive match between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Catalan capital that Perez has decided to miss.
FC Barcelona said nothing about the incident until vice-president Rafa Yuste addressed it after the 2-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk. Coach Xavi Hernandez also did so when he spoke to the media after the match, according to Relevo.
“He already deleted it, didn’t he?” That means something. I don’t like anything that creates tension, neither the pressure from referees, nor this tweet. We must have a Clasico with a lot of fair play, respect and mutual admiration. We’ve had games against Real Madrid in the past with a lot of tension, and I won’t be the one generating it this time. »
FC Barcelona have yet to officially respond to this situation, and nothing has been done regarding Camps’ position within the club, which will certainly become more and more untenable if no action is taken.
