Laporta and Florentino will meet at the Spanish embassy in Riyadh

Barcelona and Madrid are rivals in all the competitions in which they participate but they share common interests, with the European Super League project as the spearhead. This Saturday afternoon the presidents of the two teams, Joan Laporta and Florentino Pérez, will be able to comment on it, since they will meet at the Spanish embassy in Riyadh.

Both will attend a private reception organized by the Spanish Federation for the finalists. This event has become a custom since the tournament is organized in these lands. Florentino Pérez has been in Riyadh all week after traveling with the squad and coaches on Monday. Meanwhile, Joan Laporta arrived on Thursday to watch the semifinal match against Osasuna. The Barcelona president celebrated his passage to the final with a lively dinner attended by members of the Saudi royal family and in which he was even seen singing.

Hours later he left the Barcelona hotel to play a game of paddle tennis. In the last classics on Barcelona soil Florentino did not go to the box. This Sunday the two will be at Al Awwal Park.
