Benitez: ''I have got very little to say.You only have to look at the penalty statistics and the amount of pk's to have been awarded this term for the different teams... I think that they say it all''

sebod:

No be today jere. I have always known Madrid operate through a third party to bring Barca down at all cost. From quack doctor, unnecessary ban, tax cases, to poor officiating. But, all in all, we have always been strong and better than them. They can always try but can never succeed. #no be today!

Details from the document claiming Clasico bias against Barça

COPE have revealed the words written by the lawyer Jacinto Vicente


COPE have accessed a copy of the document presented by the lawyer Jacinto Vicente, in the name of an un-named assistant referee, relating to pressure reportedly being put on an official(s) to favour Real Madrid in the Clasico.

Among other things, it highlights that the former referee Muñoz de Morales would have, reportedly, been the person making the referee recommendation for the Clasico.

In the document it's explained that the supposed phone call took place in September.

Vicente writes: "In this context, in the middle of September, with two months still to go [before the Clasico], a referee said to my client he had received, and I quote, 'an instruction directly from someone inside'.

"The guidelines said that they could be the refereeing team for the Clasico -- even though it has still not been named, nor will it be until closer to the date -- between Madrid and Barcelona on November 21.

"In the case that they were designated the game, it was indicated that they must try to referee the game in a certain manner, in more certain terms, to prejudice the interests of one of the clubs, FC Barcelona."

Later, in the same document, it specificed that it's the principle referee of the officiating team who called the assistant to say "it would be more convenient if the most difficult decisions in this game are not taken by the main referee, as it generates more controversy in the media, but by my client, the assistant."

Vicente continued: "If the decisions are made by the assistant, it was considered, less controversy would be generated and it would also dilute more quickly. In addition, it was also stated that this practice has already been tested in 2014-15 and that, precisely, on that occasion the main referee was exposed and critised by the media. For that reason, it was convenient to be more subtle."

Further on in the document, Vicente also suggests it is not the first time an official has been pressured. Without revealing the identy of the victim, it could have been one of Jose Luis Gonzalez Gonzalez's assistants.

MARCA almost always backing the Bernabeu side- apart from when a manager like Jose Mourinho comes along and splits opinion. But despite the bias their readers don't think CR7 is about to be named as one of the top three players in the world...

The paper polled its readers on who should win the Ballon d'Or this year with Lionel Messi in first getting 26.8% of the vote, second was Neymar with 19.9% and in third place was Luis Suarez with 17.5% of the vote- a Barcelona shutout in a Madrid paper

MSN for Ballon D'or top 3......sound it.

One guy does not deserve being in the top 3 and even their fans know this.

dmcdad:

Little wonder in last season's Clasico at the Bernabeu, during the first 10 mintues, we already had 2-3 yellow cards. And it was really evident when the match hit the 20 minutes mark, by then we already had 4 yellows, and by so doing the morale of the team dropped for fear of not having a red card.

God will always see us through.

Ahhh... the case is really real ohhh!

Diego Simeone is really a prophet, what he prophesied about the league been prepared for madrid is now happening.

After spending millions of pounds to buy tested and sound players, they could not measure up with our team made up mostly of home grown players. They hired the services of mr J. Mou, who also helped them spend their money, destroyed the relationship among the guys and left the team devastated. They embarked on series of campaigns such as investigations of players and tax cases (hardly could a month go without a Barca player having tax issues, and one would wonder if Barca is the only team in the world). All in all, they have not succeeded. They have now taken it to another level by involving the assistant refs(even though it's been on for long with the central refs who are almost all Madrid supporters). They have forgotten people with conscience still exist. Madrid chiefs are just like Naija politicians, too corrupt and desperate!

dmcdad:
The fact is, it was with the centre ref that they communicated the matter to. And of course he was the one to liase with his assistants for them to be aware. They actually didnt contact the assistant directly. The reason the main ref contacted the assistant was to tell him it would be less conspicouos and would bring about less media frenzy and scrutiny if the error calls were to come from the linesman as opposed to the centre ref. So, he (main ref) told him he would be the one to make those important calls (against Barca).

sebod:

Imagine! May God bless the assistant ref. They have been doing it all these while, and now that their plot has been revealed, maybe we will have a smooth classico.

nothing sweeter than a treble winning season staring a trophyless corrupt club

In an interview with Guillem Balague on Yahoo.com, Messi said: "These are things that people say. I don't compete with Cristiano and I suppose he would not compete with me.

"What I want is the very best for my teams, and that's what I am working for."
