FC Barcelona's Sandro Rosell Blasts Telemadrid for Guardiola and Pique Report

FC Barcelona President Sandro Rosell has responded to reports by Telemadrid (Spanish television station) in a press conference published on the FC Barcelona website.

Telemadrid reported that Pep Guardiola would resign as Barca coach if the club did not release Gerard Pique during the Summer transfer window.

Rosell dismissed the news reports by saying that Guardiola and sports director Andoni Zubizarretta make decisions related to athletics.

It appears that certain members of the media do not learn from their mistakes. Last month, Reuters reported that FC Barcelona received $268,250 in damages from Cadena COPE.

The report by Cadena COPE was about alleged doping at FC Barcelona, which was found to be false.

Telemadrid's report comes at a time when FC Barcelona is enjoying a recent string of victories in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.

Telemadrid should reveal its sources about the Guardiola and Pique rift in order to avoid a similar fate that befell Cadena COPE. It is hoped that this situation concerning La Blaugrana can be resolved as soon as possible.
