FC Barcelona left Valladolid last Saturday with a precious victory (2-1), strengthening its advance at the top of the Liga before receiving Real Madrid this Sunday. Very hospitable, the Valladolid club, chaired by Ronaldo Nazário, which is very criticized by supporters, had offered Barcelona leaders, including Joan Laporta, to have lunch at the restaurant “La Parrilla de San Lorenzo”, by paying all costs.

However, Sport reveals that Barça politely declined the invitation, considering preferable not to participate in an event without the presence of Ronaldo or members of his management, absent to avoid any tension with local supporters in a delicate period. Laporta and his delegation warmly thanked the Brazilian for the gesture before organizing another lunch.
