The investigation into the payments made by FC Barcelona to José María Enríquez Negreira, number two of the Technical Committee of Referees, has blown up relations between the Catalan team and Real Madrid. The club chaired by Florentino Pérez, partner of the culés in the Superliga project, has appeared as a private accusation in the case.

Joan Laporta has taken out all the artillery against him in the appearance before the media. "A club that says it feels wronged. A club that has always been favored by refereeing decisions," he said.
