This is the full statement from Fútbol Club Barcelona, released an hour after the Real Madrid president spoke about how his club has been robbed of league titles in what he called the biggest corruption case in world football, accusing Barcelona of paying the head of referees for more than two decades, and warning that they have nearly finished a dossier to send to UEFA on the matter.
