Laporta: The relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona is broken

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that relations between the Catalan club and their arch-rivals Real Madrid have reached a dead end, amid the ongoing dispute over the Negrera affair . Laporta directly criticized Real Madrid's intervention in the case, accusing the Royal Club of trying to prolong the investigation and continuing its actions related to the matter . The Barcelona president stated, "They intervened in the Negrera case only to prolong the process and justify their pre-planned actions ." Laporta emphasized that relations between the two Spanish football giants are at their lowest point, adding, "Currently, the relationship is at zero ." The conflict between the two clubs has escalated in recent months, with Real Madrid continuing its actions in the Negrera case, while Barcelona has taken legal action following statements made by Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez . A reconciliation meeting between Laporta and Pérez is scheduled for November 25, a move that comes amidst the continued tension between the two clubs.
