Barca warn Real Madrid not to cross the line
BARCELONA, Spain (AFP) - Barcelona on Thursday warned their great rivals Real Madrid they would be forced to sever ties between the clubs if Real continue to "cross the line" of sportsmanship.
"Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are ancient institutions with many supporters and aficionados," said Barca president Sandro Rosell during a press conference.
"(But if) the line is crossed, we would be forced to break off our institutional relations, which we do not wish to do in any form."
Rosell heralded "the best season in the history of the club," at the end of a campaign in which Barca won their third successive Spanish league title and defeated Manchester United in the Champions League final.
He then turned his attention to Real, and particularly the spiky exchanges between the clubs that accompanied their series of four matches in the space of 18 days in April and May.
"Real Madrid crossed the line of acceptable sporting rivalry by making accusations against our club without any foundation," he said.
"The rivalry will continue next season but we will not allow them to go beyond the bounds of sportsmanship."
Rosell referred to "numerous provocations" stemming from the Madrid-based press and from both the club itself and the Real coach, Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho was handed a five-game ban by UEFA after he made allegations of favouritism towards Barcelona following Real's 2-0 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.
The Portuguese's appeal against the sanction will be heard on July 29.
The radio station Cadena Cope also made doping allegations against the Catalan club, drawing attention to the "suspicious reputation" of some of its medical staff.
Several Barcelona players subsequently underwent unscheduled doping tests at the request of UEFA, European football's governing body.
According to Rosell, the accusations against his medical staff and players "were premeditated and miserable," as "the club is an example of conduct for millions of people, particularly children".

The level of arrogance of Barcelona is just unreal. I really can't stand them and I only wait for their fall.

Re: Barca warn Real Madrid not to cross the line
Real Madrid response
"Real Madrid C. F. regrets the unfortunate statement made today by the President of F. C. Barcelona, nonetheless understanding said remarks respond to the pressure felt by its Board of Directors coming from a particular sector of the media close the club and demanding a more aggressive attitude towards our entity.
The grave and false insinuations in the speech relating to certain reports on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport, that have nothing to do (neither in origin nor fruition) with Real Madrid C. F., are incomprehensible to us, given that everybody knows our club immediately and categorically denied said reports on the media platform they were published in.
It is important to remember that, facing the aforementioned pressure, F. C. Barcelona lodged an astonishing formal complaint against the coach of Real Madrid C. F. at UEFA, something unprecedented in the relations between both clubs.
Despite this unprecedented event and the statement made by the President of F. C. Barcelona, and for the good of football, Real Madrid C. F. will continue to work to have the best relations with F. C. Barcelona, as it always does with every other club from Spain and the rest of world.
Finally, Real Madrid C. F. once more reiterates its committment to sportsmanship and the values inherent in football, especially those regarding fair play and the unequivocal battle against racism. The club regards these as essential elements in sport that set a valuable example for children around world."

Well, to respond with class and restraint to such bullshit coming from them and the rest of the world at this point isnt easy. We will not go down to their level and start throwing petty insults and inventing stuff about drugs, or basing whole speeches about how they are crossing lines. The worst injustice of all is how everyone else just laps it all up and sees Madrid as the great devil.

Re: Barca warn Real Madrid not to cross the line
Outside of sport barca is the biggest rival of real madrid as well. Real Madrid should have warned barca when they were making up all that franco stuff up. Them and their players never accept our invitations for charity events by our club or our players either

Do Farca have a woman on her period who writes the statements? What are they going to gain from their warnings other than establishing their status as a village club?

Re: Barca warn Real Madrid not to cross the line
I'm sorry... but none of the rivlas in US sports are "allies" outside the sport and it's working out just image. Yankees/Red Sox, Lakers/Celtics, etc.
Barca prez is just low class as far as i can tell. You never have the leader of an elite club lash out for no reason... you let the others do it. Very "nouveau rich" from Barca.

Rosell: If you attack us again all ties will be cut
Perez: What are you talking about?
After all the things Madrid has done to Barcelona this season I think its right they hold their ground.

Re: Barca warn Real Madrid not to cross the line
Barcelona players constantly attacking Real, their players, their coach, always saying Fabregas should come to Barcelona... And now their president. Their arrogance is starting to get a bit on my nerves.

Re: Barca warn Real Madrid not to cross the line
Actually thinking about this I dont think there has ever been a time where real madrid and barcelona took the same side on anything. Barcelona backed villar when Rm and all other big clubs did not want to. Barcelona backed UEFA when RM and some other clubs wanted to make changes and so on.

What the hell are you on about?
Barcelona the land of throwing stones, trying to arrest players, sprinklers, attacking coaches, laughable claims of Madrid conspiracy, play acting on the field, racism, kicking balls into opposition's fans without so much as an apology and manipulating referees.
But of course it's all Madrid's fault and Barcelona never do anything wrong.
