The recent game between Real Madrid and Almeria was in the news for all the wrong reasons. There were several incidents in the game where the decision went the way of Los Blancos. This led to them winning 3-2 in the last minute. However, after the game, Barca head coach Xavi said that the game had poor officiating. In response, Real Madrid responded to the Culers by taking the example of the Negreira Case and added the club paid referees for several years. Now, Barca chief Joan Laporta has responded to the comments. He answered, “What Real Madrid TV is doing is a shame, I don’t know how they allow it. The Spanish federation should say that this is a way to put pressure on the referees.”

Laporta added that he is confident that the club will be acquitted of the accusations. He also said that the money was paid to referees for their technical services and not to fix matches and win games. Additionally, the Barca chief stated their willingness to provide evidence of their innocence in the Negreira case. However, he adds that Real Madrid is taking more time to show their proof and extending the case.

The loss against Villareal was one of the worst matches for the Barcelona fans. One of them was because their coach Xavi, announced his resignation at the end of the season, which shocked many. However, their troubles did not stop after the match. A video went viral of Xavi saying “It’s a shame,” after VAR canceled a penalty. But luckily, Xavi will not face any punishment for his reactions.

This is because the reaction did not get noticed by any of the officials on the pitch. VAR remained helpless, as the technology is only used for taking cards and penalty decisions.
