Barcelona judge Joaquín Aguirre, who is investigating the 'Negreira case' concerning FC Barcelona's payments to former referee José María Enríquez Negreira, issued an order on Thursday in which he attributes the crime of bribery to FC Barcelona and the rest of those under investigation, including former presidents Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell. 

It was obvious that Xavi Hernández would be asked about it. The Barça coach acknowledged that the questions on this issue made him quite tired and admitted that he does not believe that the news on the case will drop in the coming days. "Next week there will be another piece of news about Negreira and the following week ...." he said. 

Xavi was clear. You know my opinion of the Negreira case. I have never had the feeling that the referees have benefited us. Never. And he has assured that at no time has he stopped to reflect on why the club paid the vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees for 18 years. "I don't make reflections of this kind. I don't have much time and I'm focussed on the team".
