“It’s difficult to give explanations in the middle of a process. I’m sure explanations will be given,” said the former Barcelona centre-back.
Gerard Piqué, former footballer of FC Barcelona, made some statements in RAC1 that are already starting to go around the world, especially because of the arrow he threw towards the Spanish capital, ensuring that the last Champions League held by Real Madrid was won ‘not no one will be’. to remind.”
However, one of the most striking statements that Piqué left in that interview related to the ‘Negreira case’, in which justice investigated payments from FC Barcelona to the vice-president of referees between 2001 and 2018.
When asked about this issue, the former Manchester United player said that “it is difficult to provide explanations in the middle of a process. I’m sure an explanation will be given, but… It’s scary when someone says we won something thanks to the referees. We were so infinitely superior that there was no referee to help us.”
In the same line as Piqué, but without as much power, another former Barça central defender, such as Carles Puyol, had shown himself last Monday, with the former Barça captain claiming to be “very calm, because I am sure that We don’t buy referees, justice will tell.”. “Was there any favorable treatment at that time? On the contrary. It is very complicated to be a referee and you have to respect his job,” Puyol explained.
