""There are certain referees who, when they officiate our games, screw us over. Excuse my language, but it's true. It's a recurring issue, a constant problem. It's a reality. I could name them all," he told reporters. "This hasn't happened just once, but many times. In identical plays, they've been able to call the wrong thing to harm Barça. It's blatant."
""We are defending Barça against everything and everyone. Against people who simply can't accept who we are and what we represent. They can't stand what we are achieving with our team. This is the only way they can stop us because they can't stop us on the field. "We have a team that can aspire to almost anything and face every possible adversity."
Certain referees are accused of repeatedly making incorrect or biased calls that disadvantage Barça, creating a recurring and blatant problem. Identical plays have been called differently to harm the team, suggesting intentional or systemic bias. Opponents and others allegedly cannot accept the club's identity and success, and therefore attempt to impede progress through officiating rather than on-field competition. The prescribed response is to focus on internal strength: build a better squad, play better football, and overcome this dysfunction and its intentions through improved performance and resilience against adversity.
