After experiencing a financial crisis last year, La Liga giants Barça have recently been deeply involved in the refereeing turmoil.
Recently, according to Spanish media, Barça not only received favorable penalties in what was once a key match, but former referee committee vice president Negreila paid most of the money that Barca paid to his company, DASNIL 95, to give gifts to La Liga referees.
In addition to Barca, Messi has also been mired in rumors recently.
A few days ago, French media RMC Sports revealed that coach Galtier has lost control of the dressing room, and he has also had a dispute with Argentine superstar Messi over training subjects.
In addition, on the NBA court, Paul George's injury is heartwarming. According to ESPN, multiple sources revealed that Clippers forward Paul George showed that he suffered a sprained right knee, and he will be rechecked in 2-3 weeks, and reimbursement will be determined in the regular season.
Recently, Barça have been caught up in the refereeing turmoil, not only suspected of match-fixing but also suspected of bribing referees.
Barça are mired in the "referee's gate" turmoil
Barca have recently been caught up in a turmoil over the goal, and the latest news shows that some of their past classic matches have also been suspected of match-fixing.
Spanish media Efe reported that a report by Negreila pointed out that Barca won a favorable penalty in the 6-1 victory over Paris in the 2016-2017 season. The report states that Barca have received at least two favorable penalties, including a penalty that was not awarded for a foul in Mascherano's box in the 84th minute and a controversial penalty in the 89th minute of the game, Luis Suarez.
In addition to such a shock, according to Spanish finance ministry documents obtained by Le Monde, former vice president of the refereeing committee, Negrela, used most of the money that Barça paid to his company, DASNIL 95, to give gifts to La Liga referees.
According to a 2016 tax deduction application previously rejected by the Ministry of Finance, DASNIL 95 bought 1,500 red and yellow cards for 4,460 euros, and hundreds of pre-match goal selection coins for 2,032 euros.
In addition to supplies, the company also spent about 10,000 euros on ham and bought countless tickets to give to what they claimed to be "customers". However, the company's actual customers are no one other than Barça.
Regarding the tickets, Negreila claimed to the Ministry of Finance that they were within the scope of his own personal connections, and that some of them were only bought by him and the money was transferred back to him. In some cases, such as the Copa del Rey final, these tickets are for invitations.
At the same time, according to the internal audit of DASNIL 95, Negreila also gave small gifts to the referees, such as "beach tennis rackets, sun hats and cooling bags", as well as bottle openers, bread machines, bento bags, blankets, pants or laser ballpoint pens. He also invites the referees to dine at well-known seafood restaurants in Madrid and Barcelona, which cost about 2,000 euros per meal. DASNIL 95's ledger also contains things like "desserts, wine, liquor, and cheese," a large number of lottery purchases, and a number of outflows in the name of invitation.
During this time, there were more and more scandals between Messi and Grand Paris.
Messi twice had a dispute with Galtier over training subjects
During a training session last Tuesday, Messi again stopped before the end of training. Galtier explained last Sunday: "Messi felt adductor discomfort and he shortened his training time. However, according to eyewitness accounts at the scene, he questioned Galtier regardless of whether Messi's adductor muscles were injured or not, and some of the training sessions proposed by Galtier were in favor of the attackers.
During a training session a few days ago, Galtier wanted the players who completed their last training session to practice for a few more minutes before returning to the dressing room, but Messi did not respond positively to Galtier's proposal, and although the coach did not make it clear, the two sides did not agree in the end.
French media believe that more and more news is being made about Messi's future, with the Argentine star whose contract expires in June this year and he is in talks with the club to renew his contract, but the outlook is not clear.
According to Argentine media, Messi has been subjected to too many rumors, and the newspaper "Ole" revealed that the reason why Messi quit 10 minutes before the end of training was because he felt that the load on his body was a little difficult to accept, which is why he talked to Galtier, and he still maintains a good relationship with the Paris manager.
No matter where Messi goes next season, the media have agreed on Galtier's departure, with almost all media revealing that Galtier will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of this season.
Paul George once again collapsed from a serious injury.
George's right knee sprain will be reviewed in 2-3 weeks, regular season or reimbursement
According to ESPN, multiple sources revealed that Clippers forward Paul George showed that he suffered a sprained right knee, and he will be rechecked in 2-3 weeks, and reimbursement will be determined in the regular season.
According to reports, George is expected to miss the Clippers' remaining nine games of the regular season this season, and the medical team will reassess George's injury in two to three weeks. According to ESPN, the timeline for George's possible comeback during the playoffs will be clearer when George's injury is reassessed.
In August 2014, George suffered a horrific tibia-fibula fracture in his right leg during a U.S. National Team intra-team match. In this game against the Thunder, George collided with his opponent when he grabbed a rebound in the fourth quarter, suffered a reverse joint injury in his right knee, fell to the ground for a long time, and was finally helped out of the court.
George's knee injury worries some staff, executives and players, and is undoubtedly a blow to the Clippers, who have always been one of the indispensable key players on the team. Faced with this situation, Leonard said: "The next step is the solidarity and cooperation of all of us. We have other players who also have a lot of confidence and quality. We will continue to work hard to win the game. ”
So far this season, George has averaged 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 34.6 minutes per game, compared to 6-11 when George is out so far this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo: The Saudi League will be fourth and fifth in the world in the future
On the 23rd, Ronaldo said at the Portuguese team's pre-match press conference that the Saudi league is fierce and is expected to become the fourth or fifth league in the world in the future.

I have realised that I still have a lot to serve the national team and my desire is to bring Portugal to the highest level. I always make my contribution when they need me. ”
At present, Cristiano Ronaldo has made 196 appearances for Portugal, and as long as he plays against Array Zhitenstein, he can surpass Mutawa as the world No. 1 with 197 appearances for the national team. "Records are always positive things, that's my motivation and I love breaking them. I've got quite a few records, and tomorrow's will be special. I must admit, that makes me proud. I want to be the one who makes the most appearances for the national team, but I have to add more. If you want me to play, I'm always available. ”
Manchester United's change of owners appears to have entered the countdown.
The Thar Consortium and Ineos submitted their latest offers
A few days ago, the famous journalist Romano revealed that the representative of the Qatari consortium, Sheikh Jassim Al Thani, has submitted a new offer for Manchester United.
The Al Thani team remain confident that they believe they are the best bid for Manchester United, they want 100% ownership of the club and will invest in the stadium, facilities, first team and academy. In addition, Sir Ratcliffe's Ineos Group has also submitted an updated offer.
According to the Manchester Evening News, British government officials privately welcomed Qatar's investment in Manchester United. If Sheikh Jassim succeeds in becoming a priority bidder, one minister even said such an acquisition would be a good investment for the community. A senior trade envoy, speaking on condition of anonymity, insisted Britain "should absolutely welcome foreign investment from the Middle East, whether in football or green energy." ”
Manchester United's share price rose 6% before the takeover deadline. Last week, shares fell to a year-high low amid reports that the Glazer family may be reconsidering selling Manchester United, but the problem still seems to lie with the Glazer family, with the Daily Mail saying that while United received a world record offer of around £5bn from Qatar and Sir Ratcliffe, there are still concerns that the Glazer family may not sell the club as they value the club at £6 billion. On Wednesday evening, Qatar consortium and Sir Ratcliffe both raised their offers for Manchester United, with news that it reached around £5bn as expected – a world record for a sports club to sell, and both groups believe they are the only bidders interested in buying the club outright rather than holding a stake.
