    Maybe Dortmund can flip some referee thing to justify their losses.

    Not unless they can prove refs have been paid they can't.

    The employees are not responsible for the behavior of their superior.

    If your superior takes bribes, would you want your entire work to be considered fraudulent?

    Negreira was basically on the radar for tax fraud, the nature of the payments make the topic a different discussion, but the fact is there is zero proof of a single blow of a whistle being ordered and executed based on Negreira orders and that is what's needed to claim Barca’s titles as invalid.

    I am hoping there will be an investigation, but instead of a proper investigation, questioning of everybody involved we get an eternal web of accusations, no clarity, no payoff.

    Everybody gets off with a slap on the wrist, everybody keeps insisting everything is corrupt with Sport and Marca yelling "robbery!" whenever the competition wins by a referee decision right or wrong.

    Everybody deserves a fair process.

    If Bernie Madoff was a fraud, does that mean his whole firm should close down? Why is it fair to leave all his hard working employees out of a job and claw back wealth from his family when only Madoff was involved in the fraud?

    Of course, he picks the picture in a Real Madrid jersey, not the german team. He was one of my favorite players while he was at Real Madrid. Absolute maestro on the ball. Before Luka came and changed the face of the RM midfield, Mesut was making silky passes and playing the conductor. He was topping La Liga assist charts while Messi, Xavi and Iniesta were still at Barca. One of the greatest CAMs to ever play in his prime. That's amazing. He also had good chemistry with CR7, Benzema and Higuain.

    He was also very likeable as a Madridista, and remained one long after he left. He followed the team very publicly. If it weren't for the bad advice from his dad, I imagine he would've been at RM a while longer. He is also known for his generosity. When Arsenal had to let go of staff due to financial hardship, I recall him paying them out of his pocket. A deserved world cup winner who played a key role for Germany's latest WC triumph. Unfortunately he admitted to the german team heirarchy he was German when things went well and Turkish when it didn't. Still, to me he was an absolute magician. I wish him all the best!

    Happy for Carva, but that is bad news for Madrid. More mileage for that guy.

    Fully agreed. He was an absolute joy to watch and one of the few players I truly liked. Such a shame he left us so early, as he was the best (and most fun) AM in the world while he played for us. Probably one of my favourite players. Good luck, Mesut!

    One of my all time favorites and a madridista at heart (i see the selection of your pic Mesut).

    What a joy to watch him in our shirt. Happy trails Champ, you are 1 of 1.

    Benzema is so good when he is not exploited to the point of complete exhaustion.

    Miss that player.

    Benzema sat out the entire World Cup and missed a truckload of games before that.

    Arguably, not a single one of our main stars has had as much opportunity to sit out as he had.

    Vinicius has clocked in nearly 1000 more minutes than he has.

    And still he’s the top scorer of the club.
    What a player he’d have turned out to be yet again this season if we had managed his minutes well…

    Should play Alvaro now in La Liga and give Benz enough rest before Chelsea ties and CDR Clasico.

    RM got just 1 penalty at Camp Nou from 1993-2018 when Negreira was VP. Remember Varane getting his knee hacked and still no penalty call? Quiet a few stone wall pens were not given.

    In what way would Negreira have access to a German referee? A two time referee of the year, who has officiated finals, amongst hundreds of regular season games, CL games and international matches.

    If that is below the standard for a big CL game, then scrap football and call it a day.
