FC Barcelona Vice President apologizes to Vinicius Jr. over spokesperson’s shocking remarks

In the recent 1-1 draw between Real Madrid and Sevilla, Vinicius was subjected to offensive insults from fans. While many condemned this as disgraceful behavior, Mikel Camps, the deputy spokesperson for the Barcelona board of directors, made a surprising statement on X.

He said, “It’s not racism, he [Vinicius] deserves a slap for being a clown. What do these unnecessary and meaningless stepovers represent in the center of the field?”

While they eventually deleted the tweet, it was somehow shared by several news outlets and spread like wildfire. Camps’ social media activity drew widespread criticism from all corners of the globe. Today, Barcelona Vice President Rafa Yuste broke his silence on his colleague’s tweet while offering Vinicius a sincere apology. He said, “Even if it’s a mistake, it shouldn’t happen. It’s an unfortunate tweet. Vini, if you are listening to me, it won’t happen again.”

Notably, Barcelona condemned the actions of their spokesperson. It remains to see if Vinicius will accept the vice president’s apology. Meanwhile, Barca president Joan Laporta recently issued a strong challenge to Real Madrid fans.

Joan Laporta issues a strong challenge to Real Madrid fans

In FC Barcelona’s recent Committers’ Assembly, Joan Laporta discussed the ‘Negreira Case.’ While defending the club’s innocence, he made a direct reference to Barcelona’s arch-rivals, stating, “When you go to Madrid you realize that there is a sociological madridismo in all the organisms of power. In my first stage, we already beat this sociological madridismo.”

Joan Laporta believes those associated with ‘sociological madridismo’ are behind this conspiracy and have a vested interest in taking control and undermining Catalonia’s symbols. He expressed confidence in the club’s ability to win the legal case. “They attack us because we are doing well again. Sportingly and economically,” he concluded. To sum up, these are some bold claims from the Barcelona president.
