With its constant manifestations, has fueled the controversy and provided false documentation to the Prosecutor's Office. I ask you to stop your verbal incontinence because you are doing the institution you represent no favors.. You are validating information that is false: has come to say that there was no report. and many voices suggest that this is more than possible he is having an absolutely irresponsible act. He is the one who has been in charge of stoking the fire and trying to FIFA participate in this lynching”.

“There is a club that has appeared as a private accusation, the Real Madrid. It is a club that has historically been favored by arbitration decisions. A club that has been considered the team of the regime.

That this club alleges that it feels harmed seems to me an unprecedented exercise in cynicism. I trust that this trial will unmask them and put them in their place”.

“institutionally, they are touched. We had always had a cordial relationship, the clashes between Barça Y Madrid They are the best show in the world of football. The relationship of institutional concord has been damaged by this appearance in the case. I think they have rushed. It's an exercise in cynicism, as I said. In any case, those who have been belligerent have been them. The League he had already appeared”.
