The relations between Barcelona and Real Madrid are bad, they are broken. FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has stated that institutional relations with Real Madrid are 'broken, totally', although he believes they are 'reconcilable', always depending on 'the will of the parties'. 'The relations are broken, which does not mean that we do not have to maintain a respect that we must always have beyond how the relations are, and we will always act like this with respect and civilized, but the relations are totally broken,' he commented. 'If we were already fierce and eternal rivals, now a situation is occurring that is making the relations not good,' Laporta insisted. 'In this sense, a series of circumstances have occurred that have caused the relations to be broken,' Laporta recalled regarding the aforementioned statements about the Negreira case by Florentino Pérez. The Barcelona president refers to the new statements of Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez about the Negreira case during the last assembly of the Madrid entity's members. Regarding tomorrow's final, the Barcelona president does not believe that Barcelona is the favorite to win. 'Despite how the two teams arrive at the final, there are no favorites, because in a final there are never any favorites,' he indicated. There are various issues that have distanced us. Asked if they can be reconciled, Laporta indicated that 'both in football and in life, everything is reconcilable', although it depends on the will of the parties.
