EL MUNDO accesses Barcelona's invoices to Negreira: 33 payments in two years for 1,685,142 euros

These payments -recognized by the Barça club- that the Prosecutor's Office investigates if they constitute a crime have even made the front pages of the general media.

But, on the contrary,

they do not appear on the front pages of the Catalan sports media

.

If one begins by analyzing the sports media published in Madrid, the sports newspaper

Marca

headlines full page "Scandal! Barça paid 1.4 million to the vice president of the referees."

"Barçagate arbitration", also headlines the daily

As.

The information is also quoted, prominently, in the online medium Relevo.

Very different is the assessment of the issue in the sports media published in Catalonia.

"Champions Duel" is the great headline that can be read in the Mundo Deportivo

newspaper

, alluding to the Europa League game that Barcelona is playing against Manchester United this afternoon.

On the cover there is not the slightest mention of payments from the Barça club to a company linked to Enríquez Negreira.

"Make it a magical night" can also be read in

Sport

.

And, as in the previous case, absolute silence on the front page on the matter that marks current sports.

There are allusions on the online front page of this Thursday, and with a coincident approach: the case, headline both media, would have prescribed.

Information about the Prosecutor's investigation is mentioned in a small headline at the bottom of the front page of

L'Esportiu

, published in Catalan.

The Catalan generalist newspapers, both

La Vanguardia

and

El Periódico,

do include the information on their printed front pages for this Thursday.
