Barcelona were unable to escape the controversy surrounding the El Caso Negreira/Negreira Case during their trip to Athletic Club.
La Blaugrana are at the centre of allegations involving claims centred on their rumoured relationship with the former Vice President of the Referee’s Committee, Enriquez Negreira.
The Catalans are accused of making payments to Negreira, in his former role, as part of an attempt to influence referees to make favourable decisions for the team, under the Negreira’s guidance.
As the case continues to evolve, the Spanish public prosecutor has indicated their belief of the claims being accurate, with a judicial review expected imminently.
Despite Barcelona’s insistence over their innocence in the case, Athletic Club supporters showed their cynicism over the situation, with a show of protest at tonight’s La Liga clash.
The home fans littered the pitch with ‘Mafia’ notes in a very clear hint at their belief of Barcelona’s wrongdoing in the latest chapter of financial charges against the club.

If Barca is truly guilty of this, then why is Madrid being the team favoured most in laliga

I'm really tired of Barca being put into all this.. First they can't sign but Barca made all effort and went to sign whoever they like, now you want to do your possible best to bring them down.. Tebas and Madrid president at work

Last season Barcelona didn't win anything and there were nothing like , you won't buy players, you were paying referees, this season Barcelona looking positive to have some thing you start some thing else. why why that's cheap politics, and you blind followers you are saying it's true you will see.shame on you. Your references of Chelsea FC are the Eufa games officiated by Laliga referees? if we were buying games why didn't Barcelona won all the laliga titles from 2001 up to 2018?Coz all the games were in our favor. You should be accepting defeat and give kudos to a deserved team.
