Real Madrid has formally requested that UEFA reopen its disciplinary investigation into FC Barcelona regarding the “Negreira case,” which concerns alleged payments made to a former vice president of the Spanish refereeing committee. The club is demanding a swift response from European football’s governing body and seeks a sporting resolution to the matter. Real Madrid believes new evidence warrants further scrutiny of the allegations that Barcelona benefited from improper influence over match officials. The club argues that the initial investigation was insufficient and failed to fully address the potential impact on competition integrity. This request follows ongoing legal proceedings in Spain related to the same allegations. Real Madrid seeks to ensure fair play and transparency within European competitions. The club has not specified what sporting sanctions it is seeking, but implies a desire for consequences if wrongdoing is confirmed.
