Barcelona, the team that once awed the soccer world with its beautiful style on the field and its social commitment to being 'more than a club,' is in danger of tarnishing its reputation with a scandal of its own making.

Getting reports on referees is common practice and clubs can pay other companies or have them prepared internally, as Barcelona now does. It’s not known if other clubs also got them from Enríquez Negreira’s company.

Meanwhile, El Mundo reported that Enríquez Negreira had threatened then-Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu to create a “scandal” when the club decided to stop paying for his company’s services in 2018.In an interview with Spanish newspaper ABC on Friday, Bartomeu said he ended the contract with the company to reduce costs and that the club never tried to seek favor from referees.

The state prosecutors office would not confirm the information published by El Pais and El Mundo when asked by the AP. It limited its response to saying that official investigations have been ongoing for months. “I have been involved in refereeing for 40 years and this is the saddest moment I have gone through,” Medina said Thursday, adding “I will put both my hands in the fire for every generation of referees that have given it their all on the field.”
