Es oficial. El Barcelona ha sido acusado hace algunos días por la Fiscalía por haber corrompido la limpieza del fútbol español, al haber estado pagando al vicepresidente del comité de arbitros mientras este ejercía su cargo durante al menos 17 años.

Este es el peor caso de corrupción deportiva en la historia de España, y probablemente uno de los más grandes en la historia del fútbol europeo. Sin duda tiene toda la pinta de que será de los más mediáticos no solo por la magnitud del club acusado, sino además por la cantidad de años en que el fútbol español estuvo amañado.

Sin embargo, es importante aclarar que no todos los años van a ser juzgados por la justicia española, sino unos pocos. Máximo de 2016 a 2018, y según algunos entendidos, quizás incluso solo unos meses de 2018.

Otro punto importante, es que tanto UEFA como FIFA pueden aplicar los castigos que consideren pertinentes, por lo que al Barcelona se le pueden aplicar castigos por 3 vías. Las 2 mencionadas, y por supuesto por la vía penal a través de la justicia española.

Lo lamentable de esto no es solo la magnitud de la corrupción, sino que además, el Barcelona fue un club que durante años mantuvo un relato falso donde siempre alardeaban de tener valores y de ser humildes. Por si fuera poco, cuando había atracos arbitrales a sus rivales, era normal leer que ellos en Barcelona nunca hablaban de los arbitros, dando entender que hacer eso era una indecencia y una falta de señorio por parte de sus rivales.

No solo corrompían a la neutralidad arbitral, sino que además intentaban mantener un aura angelical basada en la mentira continuada y en un relato falso, mientras intentaban ensuciar la imagen de sus rivales al estos expresar su indignación ante lo que eran evidentes atracos arbitrales que sucedían una y otra y otra vez. Ahora ya podemos entender por qué pasaban tantas cosas raras en los partidos del Barcelona.

Como decía Mourinho en su famosa rueda de prensa de los por qués:

It's official. Barcelona has been accused a few days ago by the Prosecutor's Office for having corrupted the cleanliness of Spanish football, having been paying the vice president of the referee committee while he exercised his position for at least 17 years.

This is the worst case of sports corruption in the history of Spain, and probably one of the largest in the history of European football. Without a doubt, it looks like it will be one of the most mediatic not only because of the magnitude of the accused club, but also because of the number of years in which Spanish football was rigged.

However, it is important to clarify that not every year will be judged by the Spanish justice, but only a few. Maximum from 2016 to 2018, and according to some experts, perhaps even just a few months in 2018.

Another important point is that both UEFA and FIFA can apply the punishments they consider appropriate, so Barcelona can be punished in 3 ways. The 2 mentioned, and of course by criminal means through Spanish justice.

The unfortunate thing about this is not only the magnitude of the corruption, but also that Barcelona was a club that for years maintained a false story where they always boasted of having values and being humble. As if that were not enough, when there were referee robberies to their rivals, it was normal to read that they in Barcelona never talked about the referees, implying that doing so was an indecency and a lack of lordship on the part of their rivals.

Not only did they corrupt arbitral neutrality, but they also tried to maintain an angelic aura based on continued lying and a false story, while trying to tarnish the image of their rivals when they expressed their indignation at what were obvious arbitral robberies that happened again and again and again. Now we can understand why so many strange things happened in Barcelona's matches.

As Mourinho said in his famous press conference about the whys:

Más de 10 años después, ya podemos por fin saber por qué, y la respuesta es que sencillamente el Barcelona tiene como modus operandi corromper la neutralidad del comité de arbitros. Muchos lo sospechamos durante años, y ya por fin está confirmado.

Cabe destacar que esa famosa rueda de prensa fue después de un robo arbitral al Real Madrid en una semifinal de Champions League. Durante esos años, había un conflicto de intereses que beneficiaba al Barcelona y que está perfectamente explicado en la web de futbolgate, la cual ha hecho un excelente trabajo en recopilar información sobre los escándalos de este club. Este link que dejó abajo es solo uno de varios trabajos de investigación que han hecho sobre la corrupción del Barcelona. Invito a chequear el resto de la web para leer más.

More than 10 years later, we can finally know why, and the answer is that Barcelona simply has as its modus operandi to corrupt the neutrality of the referees' committee. Many of us suspected it for years, and it is finally confirmed.

It should be noted that that famous press conference was after an arbitration robbery against Real Madrid in a Champions League semifinal. During those years, there was a conflict of interest that benefited Barcelona and that is perfectly explained on the futbolgate website, which has done an excellent job of collecting information about the scandals of this club. This link below is just one of several investigative works they have done on Barcelona's corruption. I invite you to check the rest of the website to read more.

Como curiosidad, menciono que desde el 2015 ese conflicto de intereses dejó de existir, y casualmente ese fue el año en que el Barcelona ganó su última Champions, desde entonces han sufrido derrotas humillantes todos los años, y ya van 8 años seguidos.

También considero importante mencionar que ese conflicto de intereses en UEFA no es lo que se está investigando en España, lo que se está investigando es solamente corrupción pertinente a los torneos españoles.

Para leer más de la noticia principal sobre la querella de la Fiscalia contra el Barcelona, invito a visitar la siguiente noticia de El Mundo, el cual ha sido el diario con la mejor cobertura y exclusivas de todo este caso de corrupción.

As a curiosity, I mention that since 2015 that conflict of interest ceased to exist, and coincidentally that was the year in which Barcelona won its last Champions League, since then they have suffered humiliating defeats every year, and they are already 8 years in a row.

I also consider it important to mention that this conflict of interest in UEFA is not what is being investigated in Spain, what is being investigated is only corruption relevant to Spanish tournaments.

To read more of the main news about the complaint of the Prosecutor's Office against Barcelona, I invite you to visit the following news article from El Mundo, which has been the newspaper with the best coverage and exclusives of this entire corruption case.

Por último me queda decir que la frase de "más que un club" que siempre ha acompañado al Barcelona ya queda libre para hacer todo tipo de burlas y chistes para la eternidad, porque esta mancha no se va a borrar nunca.

Esperemos que pueda haber un castigo ejemplar y más importante, esperemos que pueda llevarse a cabo una limpiza y un cambio estructural que impida que casos como este se repitan. El Barcelona ha demostrado que la forma en que funciona el arbitraje en españa es fácilmente corrompible, por lo tanto, deben haber cambios importantes además de castigos.

Finally I have to say that the phrase "more than a club" that has always accompanied Barcelona is now free to make all kinds of jokes for eternity because this stain will never be erased.

Hopefully there can be an exemplary punishment and more important, let's hope that a cleansing and a structural change can be carried out that prevents cases like this from being repeated. Barcelona has shown that the way refereeing works in Spain is easily corruptible, therefore there must be major changes in addition to punishments.
