Former Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font has hit out at Joan Laporta for working with Real Madrid.

Font says Barca's president is leaning on advisers who closely with Real.

“The sociological Real Madrid thing is something we all know. What doesn't make sense is that when we have to choose between Messi and Florentino, we choose the president of Madrid," he told RAC1.

“Anas Laghrari, who is one of Florentino's trusted men, is advising Barça.

"In some circles they have heard that Florentino has said: 'Who would have thought that I would be helping Barca?' Well yes, Florentino is helping Barca and it is not explained to us."
