Gerard Pique: "Barcelona bribed referees? She was simply much better" - voila! sport

Ex-Barcelona referred to the Negira case and the accusations against his former team: "During Mourinho's time we didn't need the referees. These are rumors, it didn't happen"


Summary: Real Madrid - Barcelona 1:0 (Sport1)

Gerard Pique may have retired from football, but he will always be considered a past legend of Barcelona and one of the players most associated with it.

Fika, who since the divorce from the pop star Shakira "stares" mainly in the gossip sections, was interviewed on the RAC1 radio program and also referred to the "Negreira case".



For those who are not yet aware of the details, this is a case in which Barcelona is suspected of corruption and payments to a company owned by Jose Maria Enriques Negreira, who served as the former vice president of the Judiciary Committee between 2001 and 2018.

"I didn't know anything about it," Pique said in an interview, "I don't think Barcelona bribed referees. It doesn't make sense, Barcelona didn't buy any referee. They could have just gone with black money and that's it, it's easier than paying a supposedly fixed salary to Negira In the Mourinho era, for example, we were simply much better, we didn't depend on the referees."

"Barcelona did not bribe judges."

On the possibility that he will become the president of the team in the future: "I know the club well, as a fan and as a player. Right now I am invested in the "King's League" project and want to realize the potential there, so I do not concentrate on the presidency and do not want to impose anything. It is important that Barcelona continue to be a symbol of success as well In 20 years."



By the way, following the "Nagreira" case, the Catalan "El Mundo Deportivo" did not remain oblivious and edited a large article with all the critical judgment errors made against Barcelona in the years in question (2001 to 2018).

Among other things, they mentioned Messi's goal in the championship game against Atlético Madrid in the final round of 2014, a goal that, if it had not been unfairly disallowed, would have crowned Barça at the expense of Atlético.
