Rubiales, to Piqué in a sarcastic tone: “Tomás says that Atleti is going to win the League. Poor thing…”

Other audio revealed by The confidential of the conversation between Luis Rubiales, president of the RFEF, and Piqué in the context of the negotiation in 2019 to bring the Spanish Super Cup to Arabia has generated controversy because the conversation, informal and almost in a bar, between the leader and the footballer of Barcelona reaches the terrain of an inappropriate irony for such a position. And it affects Atlético de Madrid. In a part of the conversation between Rubiales and Piqué, considering the possibility that the Camp Nou would be the venue for the Super Cup as the venue for the probably next League champion at that time, the president of the Federation makes a point in a sarcastic tone.

“Tomás (Tomás González Cueto, member of the RFEF legal cabinet) says that the League is going to be won by Atlético de Madrid. That I have him here next door… poor thing. Well, I think it would be a good idea and do it everything there. But of course, it would be to do everything there knowing that you rent… maybe, instead of renting for half a kilo each game, you can rent it for more and get two kilos or two and a half kilos. So, I think that Barça also has a business margin there,” Rubiales told Piqué on March 3, 2019, just one day after Barcelona won the Clásico 0-1, with the leading Barça club seven points above Atlético, who were second.Just a month later, Atlético had to say goodbye to their chances of winning the championship by losing 2-0 at the Camp Nou where they played more than an hour with one less player due to a controversy expulsion of Diego Costa.
