Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has fired another shot across Barcelona's bow, reigniting tensions between the two Spanish giants. During a surprise press conference on Tuesday, Pérez didn't hold back, accusing his club's arch rivals of benefiting from questionable officiating—both this season and in years past.

The timing is no coincidence. Just days after Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2-0 in the latest edition of El Clásico, the Blaugrana have all but sealed the La Liga title. That victory pushed them 14 points clear at the top of the table with only three games left, effectively ending the title race. For Pérez and the Madrid camp, it's a bitter pill to swallow.

But the Real Madrid chief didn't stop at this season's disappointment. He took direct aim at Barcelona's success over the years, linking it to the ongoing Negreira case—a controversy involving alleged payments to a former refereeing official. "I've won 7 Champions Leagues and 7 La Liga titles… I should have won 14 La Ligas but we were robbed," Pérez declared. "This season, they robbed us of 18 points in La Liga. We did a video on RMTV showing all the incidents."

Pérez also revealed that Real Madrid plans to submit a dossier to UEFA, calling for action on what he described as a "sports corruption scandal." His comments underscored a growing frustration in the Spanish capital, as the club feels past and present injustices have tilted the balance in Barcelona's favor.

For fans and followers of El Clásico, this latest salvo adds another layer of drama to one of football's fiercest rivalries. Whether it leads to any formal action remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the battle between these two titans is far from over.
