Spanish police are
investigating claims
an assistant
referee has had
pressure put on him
to give decisions in
favour of Real
Madrid in the
upcoming Clasico
against Barcelona on
November 21.
Radio station
Cadena COPE have
leaked a document
presented to the
police by Jacinto
Vicente Hernandez,
a lawyer who
specialises in sports.
The six-page long
document details
how an official, who
wants to remain
unnamed for
professional
reasons, was asked
to make calls which
would benefit
Madrid in Spanish
football’s
showpiece next
month.
“Someone let me
know about a
referee that had a
problem and
wanted to talk with
me,” Vicente
explained to SPORT
after the document
became public
knowledge.
Vicente explains
that the official
initially wanted
advice on how to
publish the
information, but he
advised him that in
this case it would
be best to take it to
the police.
In an exclusive with Goal at the start of the season,Atleti gaffer Simeone said it will be dangerous if Real Madrid doesn't win La Liga this season. His fears has now been confirmed. Many have called Barca UEFALONA but it doesn't seem so now. Should FIFA AND UEFA probe Madrid? Do you think this will affect the outcome of the November 22 showpiece?
