The Real Madrid fans, who crawled to London to watch the team’s match against Chelsea on Tuesday, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, stood by their team and its management in response to the attack of Barcelona President Joan Laporta.
The fans of the Royal Club praised the administration’s response by publishing a video clip denying the allegations that it was the regime’s club, according to what was revealed by the Spanish news agency EFI.
Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, had described Real Madrid as a club of the regime, but his fans responded in their own way, and one of them, named Juan, said, according to what was reported by “EFI”: “They are attacking us so that people do not talk about their problem. This is a shame.”
Another fan named Javier added, “They are followers and envy us,” while a third named Jaime added, “They should talk about the adults so that the spotlight shines on them.”
Another fan wrote on Twitter, “A tribute to captain Santiago Bernabeu, who fought corruption and tyranny in his time, and refused to bow to Franco as the Barcelona presidents used to do so that they could benefit football.”
On Tuesday, Real Madrid responded with a video clip released by the Royal Club TV, which reviewed the advantages that the Catalan club obtained from the period of the former dictator Franco’s regime.
Real TV reviewed memories from the past, such as the opening of the Camp Nou stadium in the presence of General Franco’s minister, José Solis Ruiz, as well as the honors Franco received from Barcelona, his obtaining the club’s golden badge, and his appointment as an honorary member in 1965.
The video also said that “Barcelona was saved 3 times from bankruptcy with Franco’s support,” according to magazine photos at the time.
