Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has stirred up Spanish football with explosive claims in a recent press conference, targeting Barcelona's alleged involvement in the Negreira case. Perez doubled down on accusations that Barcelona "stole" league titles during the years under investigation, stating, "Only seven league titles won in my presidency? I actually won 14, the rest were robbed from me." He even went as far as to claim Real Madrid were "stolen 18 points" this season, citing a video compilation as evidence.
But Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez isn't buying it. In a calm and logical response, the rising star dismissed Perez's allegations, pointing to the undeniable talent that defined Barcelona's golden era. "What Florentino Perez has said cannot be true because Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, and Xavi Hernandez were playing," Lopez argued. "It is impossible that Barcelona have stolen league titles."
Lopez's words echo the sentiment of many fans who remember the sheer dominance of Barcelona's dream team—a squad that featured some of the most decorated players in football history. From Messi's magic to Iniesta's vision and Xavi's precision, that era was defined by brilliance, not controversy. For Lopez, Perez's claims don't hold up under the weight of that legacy.
As Barcelona push to finish the season on a high note, Lopez remains focused on the pitch. With 30 goal involvements this term, the young playmaker is proving to be one of the club's standout performers. While Perez's comments may fuel headlines, Lopez's response is a reminder that sometimes, the best argument is simply the quality of the game itself.
