Before the match, Real Madrid complained and made strong moves to put pressure on the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) about the refereeing. However, due to the RFEF's stubbornness, "Los Blancos" decided to still attend the final as planned.

In an interview with RAC1 , Barcelona president Laporta commented: "I see it as a strategy, like a circus. We want to stay away from that. Our strategy is to focus on football. We know this match deserves to be the most exciting match in the world . We do what is necessary and do not want to get involved in irrelevant matters."

However, Laporta also said that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was very polite during the awards ceremony. "We have a respectful relationship. He congratulated us," Laporta said.

In terms of expertise, the Barcelona president assessed that coach Hansi Flick and his colleagues had done a good job. He was surprised that his team had the opportunity to win the treble this season.

Barcelona are leading the La Liga standings with a 4-point gap over Real Madrid. In the Champions League, Flick and his team are also preparing to face Inter Milan in the semi-finals. The chance of a treble is still open for the Catalan team.

In another development, Barcelona leaders reached an agreement to extend coach Flick's contract until 2027, but will officially sign it at the end of the season. The club's senior leaders are pleased with the team's impressive performance in all competitions this season.
