FC Barcelona has announced in an official statement that it will file a lawsuit against Florentino PĂ©rez.
At a press conference on May 12, 2025, the 78-year-old described the Catalans, among other things, as “the biggest corruption case in the history of football.” Pérez then went on to say: “Real Madrid is not always the injured party; other teams suffer from it as well. Barça, on the other hand, always benefits.”
The Blaugrana do not intend to let that stand and are now accusing PĂ©rez of making false statements. As they emphasized in the statement, they hope the lawsuit will force the Real boss to retract those remarks.
