"Barcelona have been charged with corruption for payments made to former referee José María Enríquez Negreira.

Former Barcelona presidents Jose Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell have also been charged."

Now you cant tell me to not call barca Uefalona. They needed the referee to knock us out of the champions league despite being in their prime. They are a joke and another team I rightfully hate.

don't expect any consequences for them other than some slap on wrist and little fine

Real Madrid are guilty too but barca are far worse

It supposedly happened in la liga not UCL

What makes you think they would not do it in a better competition. It proves they did it in the UCL

doesn't matter, everyone knows even the biggest competitions were, are and will be rigged in favour of some teams.

Of course they propably would love to do it in a bigger competition than La Liga but considering how big the CL is, it might also make it harder to corrupt referee. Either because UEFA made sure to hire those that have more morals or are checking them tightly to make sure they don't even think about accepting some kind of deal with team they are supposed to ref.

Its impossible to know for sure unless we get some explosive article or statement from organisation lead investigation against specific team.

In a perfect world, this wouldn't be so but football is so big and move so much money, of course some people will try to take advantage of that to rig the results in some way.

The justification of the former presidents and former directors of Barça for the 'Negreira case': ''We paid in self-defense because the referees helped Real Madrid". Former officials ask for explanations and are answered: ''We hid it from you to protect you''.

hahahaha **** this club

🤣🤣

Hiding doing illegal stuff to protect others, not because its illegal and could get them in trouble with the justice of their country, great argument lol.

Uefa are now investigating barca for paying refs.

@Footy As they should honestly, though I have no idea if its because of the La Liga ref scandal or if its because UEFA has been cracking down on corruption in general.

that's like investigating uefa investigating uefa, nothing will come out of this, sadly.
