According to media reports, the relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona has deteriorated, from cooperation to confrontation.

"If you put aside those small frictions, Barcelona and Real Madrid should help each other. I say this very sincerely. The best club in the world is Real Madrid, but Barcelona is also one of the top clubs. Why should we be angry?" This passage was said by Real Madrid President Florentino at last year's general meeting.

These words caused dissatisfaction among some Real Madrid fans at the time. They believed that given the economic difficulties and other problems faced by Barcelona in recent years, Real Madrid should have taken the opportunity to weaken this eternal rival. However, all this is now a thing of the past. Events in recent weeks have drastically changed the cordial relationship between the two presidents.

From Madrid's perspective, they helped Barcelona in many ways, while the latter betrayed them. In confronting different institutions in football, Florentino has made a point of undermining the power of La Liga president Tebas and UEFA president Ceferin. In recent years, his main enemies have been these two, rather than Barcelona.

In recent weeks, things have changed. The first is Barcelona's significantly closer relationship with UEFA and the European Club Association (formerly ECA). Photos of Barcelona president Laporta and Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser embracing before a Champions League match have attracted widespread attention. This confirms that Barcelona is gradually withdrawing from the Super League.

Laporta said: "We hope to peacefully solve the problem of European football and return to UEFA. Barcelona supports this position, and our role is to build bridges."

Since then, Real Madrid's attitude towards Barcelona has become tougher. They view the cancellation of the Miami game as a victory, believing it is a result of La Liga's close relationship with Barcelona. Prior to this, Real Madrid had already shown a hostile attitude in the "Negrera case" and submitted a document to join the investigation. In addition, Florentino also plans to propose a new club model at the upcoming general meeting, which has caused controversy among some fans.

At the same time, Laporta faces new electoral challenges and he knows that every step now is crucial, especially those decisions affecting relations with Real Madrid, La Liga and UEFA.

The conflict between the two sides was exacerbated by some remarks. Laporta said after Flick was expelled: "If there is no behind-the-scenes, it's almost the same." Courtois responded: "He said that because of the Negreira case."

Barcelona star Yamal compared Real Madrid to a team in the "King's League" on a TV show and said that both "steal and complain," further inflaming tensions between the two parties.

At present, Laporta and Florentino have only had one official meeting in the honor box at the Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid seems to have completely given up on the idea of ​​"helping" Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona has once again made it clear that their biggest enemy is still Real Madrid. If the two sides have not completely broken up yet, then that day is not far away.
