The Catalan club is being prosecuted for "corruption", "breach of trust" and "false business records"

Real Madrid say they will support the corruption charges faced by Barcelona over money paid to the vice-president of Spain’s referees’ committee.

On Friday, a court heard Barcelona have been indicted for “corruption”, “breach of trust” and “false business records”.

Prosecutors say Barca paid 8.4m euros to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira and his company in return for favourable refereeing decisions.

The Catalan club described the company as “an external technical consultant” which was paid to compile video reports related to professional referees.
