Crazy, if true.
A match official has allegedly been instructed ‘to rule against Barcelona’ in November’s huge match against Real Madrid.
According to BBC Sport, the assistant referee’s lawyer has claimed that his client was instructed to rule in favour of Rafa Benitez’s side.
The Spanish anti-corruption authorities and the nation’s police have been contacted regarding the matter.
Barca vice-president Susana Monje has responded by saying: “I hope it does not prove to be true.”
Indeed. It will be interesting to see how both teams react to this news.
