"I agree one hundred per cent with what the president of Barça has said, and I even go much further," he said. "The Barcelona fans feel deeply offended when Florentino Perez questions the recent history of FC Barcelona and that of what has been the best team in the history of football." "And that this comes from the president of the club that accumulates more suspicions about titles in the entire history of football seems, simply, regrettable to us," he added on Perez.
Barcelona's situation in the Negreira scandal has taken yet another steep turn, and the club seems to be stuck in a never-ending circle of accusations for making payments to the former vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira. As relayed by AS in a recent report, the judge investigating the case has now cited the club as a witness for the proceedings and summoned the representatives of the club and the former president of the club, Joan Gaspart.
The two midfielders endured very different fortunes during the match. Bellingham emerged as Real Madrid's hero after scoring the decisive goal, while Pedri endured a nightmare ending, seeing red in the dying moments of the game. However, what truly grabbed attention was Bellingham's remark directed at Pedri, which many have described as disrespectful and unnecessary. The incident took place during the second half, when Pedri appealed to referee Cesar Soto Grado to show Bellingham a red card following a foul.
