According to ‘Jugones’, the Real Madrid president will not attend the match after Barca’s spokesperson called Vinicius a “clown”.
Tension is building between Barcelona and Real Madrid after Barca spokesman Mikel Camps called Vinicius a “clown” during the white team’s final match in the Champions League. So much so that Florentino Pérez decided not to go to Montuïc next Saturday to watch the Clásico, as it turned out on Wednesday in ‘Jugones’.
MIKEL CAMPS’ TWEET VINCIUS ATTACK
According to this information provided by ‘Jugones’ and confirmed by the newspaper “AS”, Florentino will not be present at the Clásico this weekend and Eduardo Fernández de Blas, first vice-president after the death of Fernando Fernández-Tapias, will become Madrid’s highest representative in Montjuïc.
Pérez planned to go to the stadium where Barça will play their home games this season while Camp Nou is being renovated, despite the recent events that have strained the relationship between the clubs, especially after the ‘Negreira case’ broke out, with Joan Laporta speaks of Madrid as ‘the team of the regime’ or ‘sociological Madridism’.
The final straw for the Basque, however, was Mikel Camps’ attack on Vinicius during Sporting Braga-Real Madrid, an incident that ended when Florentino decided not to attend the LaLiga match on matchday 11.
Camps, spokesperson for the FC Barcelona board, had Vinicius Jr. called a ‘clown’ during the match between Real Madrid and SC Braga, on the third day of the group stage. “It’s not racism, he deserves a slap because he’s a clown and a lazy person. What do those unnecessary and meaningless bicycles represent in the middle of the field”, he had written on the social network .
Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste referred to this in statements on Wednesday Movistar Plus+, to Mikel Camps’ tweet and corrected it on behalf of the Barça entity. “Even if it’s a mistake, it doesn’t have to be done. It’s an unfortunate tweet. If Vinicius listens to me, it will not be repeated,” he noted.
The screenshot of his post was reproduced and extensively commented on by several media outlets, but Camps would delete it shortly afterwards. After the match, Real Madrid striker Rodrygo Goes was asked by Camps about those comments, which the Brazilian striker described as ‘regrettable’.
