Barcelona's case with the referees just keep on getting weirder.
Barcelona's case with the referees just keep on getting weirder.

After the press conference given by Joan Laporta at the 1899 Auditorium, the president was once again the focus of all the flashes. His statements transcended Spanish football and he moved all the Culés fans. The top president is firmer than ever despite the latest information that has emerged.

Barcelona paid 7.6 million euros for at least 17 years (from 2001 to 2018) for arbitration reports. According to the information provided by 'Libertad Digital', which has had access to several of these reports and in which the short length of the reports is striking, as well as the spelling and grammatical errors.

In the information provided, Negreira's writings on the collegiate Iglesias Villanueva and David Pérez Pallas can be appreciated, in three pages full of misspellings and numerous errors. Some reports that allegedly cost 430,000 euros per year. However, these analyzes made by Negreira do not seem entirely complete.

Said reports would have appeared in a search carried out in the house of the former member of the Barça sports commission Josep Contreras, who died last December. It should be remembered that Contreras channeled through the Tresep company a commission from Barça's payments to Negreira's son for the arbitration reports.

This said the arbitration reports made by Negreira

Iglesias Villanueva appears in an extensive report. "Very well physically prepared", "Because of his level of serenity and courage, he will admonish or expel as many players as deserved it" or "He does not have a great personality or charisma" are some of the phrases in the document. David Pérez Pallás, a referee for the Second Division, was "a very young and brave referee, he will not hesitate to show cards or award a penalty if he sees it."
