Why Did Barcelona pay Referees to dominate Football

I appreciate football fans for their passion, but it seems they often have difficulty accepting facts and become afraid when posed with the truth "Did Barcelona pay Referee". This may not be exactly true that Barcelona paid the refs but many facts are here to show some evidence to the Barca referee scandal.

 If you are not willing to hear an analysis of Barcelona's history and its accused influence on referees, I suggest leaving this page. 

Before the late 2000s, Real Madrid was more successful than Barcelona in terms of winning titles, including the Champions League. However, Barcelona began to dominate La Liga and win league titles while Real Madrid only managed to win two titles in the era of Cristiano Ronaldo. Barcelona has been accused of bribing referees in the Spanish league to receive favorable decisions. 

One example of poor refereeing was in a game against Arsenal when a Barcelona player was given a red card for kicking the ball after the offside whistle. This had never happened before in football. 

Barcelona was also accused of paying referees in other La Liga and Champions League games.

In a game against Chelsea, Barcelona players tackled Chelsea players, but they received no cards, even though Drogba was tackled very hard and fell in the box. This was a clear example of poor refereeing or maybe Barcelona referee scandal.

Barcelona has been accused of influencing referees in several other games, and if found guilty, their titles should be stripped. Some truth exist behind the accusations and yes, Barcelona have had some of its way with referees. 

That's why Messi had no red card until 2021 and Real Madrid won 2 league titles. 

 In my next post, I will discuss how awards given to Barcelona players may not always be fair, and I will provide some examples of this.
