FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez recently made headlines when he criticized Real Madrid TV for allegedly 'conditioning' referees in Spain. During a pre-match press conference, Xavi expressed his dissatisfaction with the practice and claimed that football competitions in the country are being 'adulterated.'
Xavi's comments came ahead of his team's away trip to Alaves, where he was asked to share his thoughts on Real Madrid's influence on match officials through their TV channel. While acknowledging that the 'Caso Negreira' scandal has added to the contentious atmosphere, Xavi emphasized that this is the reality they must contend with.
