First he was humiliated by Shakira, now Piqué reveals how to buy a referee

Gerard Piqué spoke about the Negreira case that affects FC Barcelona in RAC1 and one of his statements that most attracted attention was the recommendation on how he would go about buying a referee, stressing that he was putting his hands on fire for the Culés for the accusations about a payment for arbitration assistance in past seasons.

"If you want to do it, you go with black money, it's easier than going to a vice president. It doesn't make sense. It's very easy, you stay with him and give him an envelope. From there we are used to conspiracies," mentioned Gerard Piqué, pointing out that this method would be simpler than paying as Barça did. Negreira, stressing that they say it was for arbitration advice.

"We didn't know anything. I think these reports are more for the coach and the coaches. The players already know the referees. In exchanges, the coaches sometimes come from outside and need help to know the profile of each referee. "Here, as players, we didn't have any information. I haven't met Negreira or his son. I'm putting my hand on fire for Barça: no referees have been bought", added Gerard Piqué.

Gerard Piqué and the reason why Real Madrid turned its back on FC Barcelona

"As much as they want to make a mess, it's such a golden age... it's no longer what we won but how it was won. They can review everything. We were very, very superior. We did not depend on the referees. Let them dedicate themselves to malmetering... I would pass Olympically and what follows. It's true that the Prosecutor's Office is involved, but I trust the club. All the clubs except Madrid had turned against Barça, Madrid was the only one that didn't. I understand that in the end they do, I suppose they have a lot of pressure on them", explained Gerard Piqué in RAC1.
