The statements of Florentino Pérez, affirming that Real Madrid would have been “deprived of seven leagues”continue to provoke numerous reactions in Spain, particularly in Catalonia. This position by the Madrid president, much commented on in the media, immediately sparked a reaction from FC Barcelona, where several members of the club firmly reject this interpretation of the recent history of the Spanish championship.
In this context, Fermín López responded bluntly, defending the Blaugrana golden era. The Barça midfielder categorically rejected the Madrid leader’s comments: “It’s not correct to say that Barça stole seven leagues. It’s impossible when we see the players who played in this team, with Messi, Iniesta or Xavi”he said. The 23-year-old young player insists that the success of the Catalan club was based above all on the sporting quality and the exceptional level of this generation, while calling not to fuel a controversy which, according to him, does a disservice to Spanish football.
