‘This isn’t a coincidence’ - Joan Laporta blasts La Liga ahead of Barcelona’s Copa del Rey semi-final tie with Atletico

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has hit back at La Liga after their statement earlier today regarding FFP and the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.

La Liga aren’t happy with Barcelona’s VIP boxes deal, which is said to have brought in income of €10o million, and say the Catalans are not meeting financial fair play rules.

An angry Laporta has now had his say on the latest events.

“Sometimes I feel like this isn’t a coincidence. Today we’re playing a final in Madrid against Atlético, which I hope will be a great spectacle.
