The judge investigates 12 "El Clasico" matches between Real and Barça for the "Negreira case", the 3 suspicious matches

The "Negreira" case continues to make waves in Spain. On this occasion, the newspaper "El Mundo" publishes today the list of "El Clasico" that it is assumed that Barcelona has paid money for the influence of arbitration in the matches in question.

It should be noted that it is very interesting to see the moment in which Barça made the payments.

12 El Clasico

Barça won five and Madrid another five, while two ended in draws.

What attracts a little more attention is that during those matches there were five penalties, three in favor of Barca and two in favor of Real Madrid. In those twelve games there were a total of 7 red cards, six against Los Blancos.

Of course, it is difficult to justify that in this sense there was some kind of conspiracy since there were up to eight different referees who judged these matches.

Doubts

Among these twelve matches there are three matches that stand out from the rest. One was won by Barcelona at the Bernabeu and the other two ended in a draw. The first was the one played in March 2014, the others in December 2016 and June 2018.

March 2014

In this confrontation, the newspaper "El Mundo" informs: "After the letter of the Prosecution, on January 8, 2014, Enriquez Negreira, the chairman of the arbitrators, billed Barca 41,696 euros plus VAT, the same amount on February 4 and the same amount on March 4" just a little days before El Clasico.

It was a match managed by Undiano Mallenco and ended 3-4 for Barcelona. Among the actions, we must single out a red card for Sergio Ramos and three penalties, two in favor of Barca.

December 2016
El Mundo points out that this match was refereed by current VAR director Clos Gomez. It should even be noted that Negreira, as reported by El Mundo, told Barça that he could help them with VAR in the summer of 2018."

"That day Clos Gomez missed two very clear penalties.

June 2018
The next match was the one that ended in a draw. "Enríquez Negreira received the last payment from Barça, 49,610 euros, one month after "El Clasico".
