   No doubt this will get swept under the carpet. Even if they didnt attempt to bribe referees its still a massive conflict of interest and completely unethical and no doubt curried them favour with refs and officials. FIFA need to make an example of them and penalise them. Trophies should be stripped to be honest. But I know FIFA wont do anything, they're even more corrupt.

   I watch the Spanisch LALIGA over years and the refried helped Barca and real in many games. So if you gonna investigate about Barca , you know Madrid is not far from that. But Perez is just 2 strong to be mentioned , yet

   But the time will come and people will know the truth. Madrid is the one club that had been helped the most specially this season. You see the referees how they already robbed Barca 4 points thus season

   They should be kicked out of football..not just the CL.
   How do they keep buying players and not breach the FFP. It's as corrupt as it gets.

    This refs problem with barca is only for the Laliga
    It has nothing to do with ucl
    And this time like last year they don’t have evidence and uefa can’t do anything let alone removing them from ucl

    If it turns out that it's all true then considering Barcelona's financial issues at the moment, can you imagine a world without Barcelona FC in a few years? That would be crazy!

    For those people who actually believe in the Negreira case, read the full message given below 👇

    This is for those people who actually believe that Barca bribed the referees in order to influence the outcome of the matches.

    1) First of all, Barca reportedly paid around €7.5 million over the course of freaking 17 years (from 2001-2018) or basically less than €450K per season to Negreira allegedly for "influencing the outcomes of the matches" but the amount involved is just too small (just around €450K per season) which is just not high enough to actually influence the decisions.
    To give you guys some context of how small this amount is, when Juventus was charged with the same kind of case or the famous Calciopoli scandal in 2006, according to some reports, they allegedly paid around €35-40m for just two seasons and that too in 2006 (although most of it was done because of the influence and not money but still certain reports suggest this kind of amount) and they were punished and relegated after proven guilty. Compare that situation with the situation of Barca right now where they are alleging that Barca bought referees for just €7.5m over the course of 17 years and that too in a much inflated market. Does it make any sense?? No it doesn't but people will only believe what they want to.

    2) Now, even if we assume for a second that Barca did try to bribe the referees, please share the instances/cases in the domestic competitions (La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Super Copa de Espanya) where Barca got major decision in their favour which let them to literally win the whole league or completely change the outcome of an important match (infact quite the opposite happened in 2013-14 and 2016-17 seasons where Barca's multiple valid goals were wrongly disallowed which costed Barca the entire league titles in both of these seasons) instead of just cherry picking some random stats (like Barca not conceding a single penalty from 2016 to 2018) which suits your agenda as these stats can be cherry picked for any team.
    Whenever I ask people to share the instances in which Barca was favoured, the only answers I receive are the Chelsea 2009, PSG 2017 and Arsenal 2011, all of them being Champions League games. First of all, Negreira was the Vice President of the SPANISH Referee Committee and thus he had NO influence whatsoever on the referee's decision in the CL games. So, people just citing examples of Chelsea, Arsenal and other CL games just doesn't make any sense. Secondly, people really want me to believe that Barca not just influenced the referee decisions in domestic competitions but also in high stake matches like the Quarters and Semi Finals of the CL by paying just €450K per season over 17 seasons as a bribe when Juventus reportedly paid around €35-40m for just Serie A games for just 2 seasons and that too in freaking 2006? I mean come on..I know referees are often underpaid but I am sure they would earn more from their salary especially CL referees than what Barca allegedly paid them as a "Bribe" and to believe that it happened on multiple occassions in several different games across multiple seasons is just mind-blowing to me. But again, people will only believe what they want to.

    3) The Prosecutor's Office originally filed this case in February this year and so far they have found absolute ZERO evidence to support their claims of Barca bribing referees through Negreira. It has been more than 7 months now but still they couldn't find any sort of evidence. How much more time do they need to find evidence which actually proves their claims?
    And it's not just about the Prosecutor's Office as Spain's Treasury have done their individual investigation…found nothing, RFEF (Spanish Football Authority) did their own investigation but also found absolutely nothing and as well as UEFA also did their separate investigation but guess what they also found nothing.
    That's four top separate/different entities who did their own investigations for months regarding this case but the end result for all of them was the same…ZERO EVIDENCE. Infact lack of any evidence from UEFA was the only reason they allowed Barca to Provisionally play in this season's CL as they were trying to exclude Barca from it but because they couldn't find anything, they had to include Barca in the CL. But again, people will only believe what they want to.

    4) If it was too cheap to buy the referees that too over such a long period, then why only Barca did it? Why not other clubs? I am not exaggerating but even a second division club can afford to pay around €450K per season if that amount guarantees them promotions, titles, not just domestically but also at the European level and that too for over two decades. This literally could be life changing for all the small clubs and they could become elite clubs in just a few years time by doing this but they didn't do it. Not because of the freaking "morals" but because it CANNOT be done in such a less amount and that is a fact. Again, people can use the Juventus scandal and other such scandal's amount as a reference which I have already mentioned above.

    5) if Barca indeed were trying to bribe the referees from 2001-2018, then what the Spanish Authorities were waiting for all these years? Why didn't they raise any objections in those 17 years? Couldn't they spot a simple Bank transaction from Barca to Negreira in all those years just like they have done now because Barca never tried to hide it. Barca have always mentioned this payment in their financials, so why now and not in those 17 years when the alleged crime was actually being committed?
    And even after payments stopped in 2018, it took them literally 4 more years to single out a Bank transaction which Barca was not even intending to hide? I mean, all of this looks more shady on the league as a whole than FC Barcelona. But again, people will only believe what they want to.

    I have tried to stay as unbiased/neutral as possible while writing this but the alleged "bribing" just doesn't make sense. The only thing that kind of goes against Barca is the fact that Negreira was the Vice President of the Spanish Refereeing Committee when Barca made those payments to him, so yes there could be a conflict of interest but this mere assumption is still not enough to prove Barca guilty or counter any of my arguments made above.

    But it doesn't matter how much facts or logical arguments I make regarding this because if people have assumed that Barca is guilty in their heads then no fact/proof/verdict would be able to change that. I have observed that people for some reason hold grudges against Barca for something that happened almost 10-15 years ago. I have not seen this with any other club but with Barca, people just like to bring out matters like Chelsea, Arsenal etc etc from the past everytime this case comes up when in reality these decisions goes in favour and against all the clubs and not just Barca but people tend to remember their games just against Barca only. But again, what can you do.

    I find it funny that he says “if this happened in England” as if there’s no corruption in the prem… Man City has been breaching financial fair play for years, clubs are owned by these rich guys that have accumulated wealth from shady business… let’s take Abramovich for example… was it only now that we suddenly discovered where he got his money from?

    Fc Barcelona are always being treated badly and they hate that the team has this much success. There's never such news about Real Madrid, because they're super rich and they can shut the mouths of anyone they want.

    This kind of allegations was made for man city also but what happened at last everyone knows,so uefa and laliga knows if barca had paid to refree then also they can't take any major step because at the end everybody wants 150 million and more fan attractions of barcelona in their tournament.
    So sky sports stop making this kind of vedio and atleast make something interesting in relation to match preview and post match analysis in a much more advanced manner
