Joan Laporta took advantage of his presence at the XV Congreso de Peñas Barcelonistas of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, which was held this year in Huelva (Spain), to prepare for Sunday's Clásico and meet the supporters. Accompanied by some legends of the Catalan club, the president of Barça returned to the topic of the moment on Mundo Deportivothe cancellation of the Villarreal-Barcelona meeting initially planned in Miami.
“We respect what LaLiga says, but what I don't agree with is that they say the competition was distorted. I don't share that. Against Villarreal we had a good series at La Cerámica. It was a match to promote LaLiga and also the image of the two clubs. The reaction of the AFE, the players and Real Madrid who brought the matter to the CSD was ultimately detrimental to LaLiga”declared the Spaniard. Because of this cancellation, Barça also loses the opportunity to receive a check for 5 to 6 million euros.
