Madrid is losing prestige and legitimacy. They tried to condemn us before judging us, and it is being proven that there was nothing behind the accusations against us. You go to the institutions, you go to UEFA, you go to the EuroLeague, and they are against everything and everyone. The other day I was at the Congress, at the General Assembly of the European Football Clubs, and they didn't even have representation. It says a lot about the attitude of a club that is losing prestige, recognition, and credibility at the national, state, and international levels. It's evidence. They opt for a very arrogant, very haughty attitude. They know what they're doing. They should engage in self-criticism. In my opinion, he had a great season. Furthermore, he has won very important titles like the League and the World Cup. He is a very sincere, very direct, and very young guy. The truth is that Lamine is enthusiastic, and I understand that sometimes he expresses himself this way. In fact, there is a sort of competition. Perhaps before, with Messi and Cristiano, this didn't happen as much. For me, there was always uncertainty, although Messi had to win because he was the best, but they didn't publicly position themselves. Now it's a different way of handling the matter, and I think it shouldn't be blown out of proportion; it's a very human reaction from a 19-year-old who is going to make history in football. We'll see how it goes because there is absolute secrecy involved. We all tried to talk to France Football, and there's no way for them to leak anything. He got injured, came back, and has recovered here. The doctors say he will be available for the match in Paris. These are situations we have to accept. We have a team that enchants by playing football from Madrid; they try to downplay all of this. #Laporta #FCBarcelona #BalónDeOro (translated)
