The unexpected news that Cristiano Ronaldo receives from Spain
Cristiano Ronaldo and Inter Miami
FC Barcelona has become involved in a new controversy after a trial for bribery occurred in the Negreira case. This case is about the possible arbitration impact of the referees in Spain in favor of FC Barcelona. However, while the investigations continue, from Spain, a former referee sent an unexpected message about Real Madrid and also mentioned the current Al Nassr player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Estrada Fernández, former Spanish referee, explained in ‘ElDesmarque Mediodía’ what it means to whistle for the big teams in the Spanish championship. “The referees are conditioned. It is not the same to referee your neighborhood team as it is to referee a big team like Barça, Madrid or Atlético de Madrid. If you make a mistake, the Committee sanctions you as it did with Munuera Montero in the last game , which came from having a refrigerator,” explained the former referee.
Estrada Fernández continued saying that “what’s more, you don’t referee the greats anymore. I have an example of mine from 2009 when I sent off Cristiano Ronaldo, that season I didn’t referee Real Madrid anymore. You know that there is media repercussion and that you have to be very careful about time to make a decision. The match that Estrada Fernández spoke about was the one the white team had against Almería in 2009. On that occasion Cristiano saw a double yellow after taking off his shirt and attacking an opponent.
Can UEFA punish FC Barcelona?
According to EFE, Barça is not going to be relegated or lose points or Spanish titles due to the Negreira case. Of course, Jiménez Illana emphasizes that “there are sanctions that can be very serious, according to article 12 of the UEFA Disciplinary Code.” “He is the one who also talks about the possible exclusion from competitions, withdrawal of titles, fines, etc.,” completes the lawyer. Thus, the file that the governing body of European football opened to Barça months ago, and which never closed, could continue its course. With the consequent opening of a disciplinary procedure that results in a sanction.
