FC Barcelona and its president Joan Laporta have retaliated by accusing the rival of Real Madrid of being favored by refereeing. Madrid were quick to retaliate by publishing a video in which the club denounced the historical links between Franco and Barça.

It is a video that risks poisoning the pre-existing rivalry between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The government of Catalonia asked Real Madrid to delete the video clip. Guy Roux, who said he was "shocked", goes even further and asks for "days in prison" for the two presidents.
