Press reports revealed that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will not present be at the Nou Camp for Sunday's El Clasico against Barcelona scheduled for Sunday at the top of the 26th round matches of the Spanish League. This is Perez's response to Barça president Joan Laporta's decision to cancel the traditional pre-match meal, a decision that Laporta took last Monday after Real Madrid announced that it would be a private prosecutor in the case against FC Barcelona for the 'Negreira Case'. El Mundo says unless there is a last-minute change, the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, will not be in the box at the Spotify Camp Nou this Sunday night to watch the Clasico between his team and FC Barcelona. The Real Madrid president's decision has caused surprise at Barça, who were expecting Florentino in the box, as although they recognise that relations between the two directors have cooled this week due to the 'Negreira case', a cordial meeting between the two was expected. Perez has taken the decision to stay in Madrid because he believes that his team and himself will receive a very hostile reception from Barça fans and they believe it is not worth taking any risks. The report indicated that club officials expect a very hostile reception for the Real Madrid delegation after participating in the lawsuit against Barca, and consider that Perez's visit is a risk that is not worth taking.
