Iniesta: Barcelona have never bought a referee

Former Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta has dismissed claims of wrongdoing over the Negreira investigation.

Now with Vissel Kobe in Japan, Iniesta is adamant his old club has done nothing wrong.

Asked by Catalan radio RAC1 on Wednesday, Iniesta dismissed the accusations against his former club.

“During my period at Barça (2002-2018), I never saw or heard anything strange," assured the former Spain international.

"I am absolutely convinced that Barça has never bought a referee.

"The information is notorious, and I understand that you are looking at what happened and what didn't."
