We are just over 24 hours away from Barcelona’s big game against Real Madrid in the Super Cup final.
The Catalans are aiming for their first title under new coach Hansi Flick, who had already guided his team to a comprehensive 4-0 victory over The Whites in the first half of the campaign.
However, as Barcelona prepares for this crucial match, club president Joan Laporta could be ready for an all-important meeting.
Laporta will meet with Pérez tonight
As reported by Rodra P, Laporta will meet tonight with the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, in Jeddah, just one day before the final.
Although this may just be a regular meeting between the leaders of the two respective clubs, important things may be discussed.
By far the hottest topic of conversation in Spanish right now is that Barcelona received a positive verdict from the Higher Sports Council (CSD), which issued a precautionary measure for Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor earlier this week.
The CSD verdict allowed Barcelona to register the two summer signings, but the move did not go down well with many La Liga clubs.
These clubs consider the CSD verdict to be an injustice to all other clubs participating in the Spanish top flight.
However, Real Madrid has remained silent on the matter and has not yet issued a statement that players such as Atlético de Madrid and Las Palmas have already issued.
Real Madrid’s silent treatment has been interpreted as a form of support for Barcelona.
Although these two clubs are fierce rivals, they are ideologically aligned on many factors, including the European Super League.
Therefore, it is likely that in tonight’s meeting Laporta and Pérez will discuss the way forward for the ESL, as well as the upcoming Super Cup final.
