Just one game? Again, where is all the evidence that Barca won those titles all those years only because they received help from the referees?

That's supposed to prove Barca's connections to the refs? Refs of every league on Earth make mistakes regularly, it's natural that sometimes you are favored and sometimes the opponent.

What followed is a Neymar dive and another penalty. Obvious one to the point guys at top rows were able to see it crystal clear. But not mr. Hernandez. A red card also. In a crucial match of the season. Ay caramba! Or that foul on Varane by Suarez. Hernandez experienced temporary blindness. Followed by temporary deafness when fourth ref was calling foul on Varane. Tons of material. But hey, no help from refs. According to the Barca lore.

Anecdotal bits and pieces. As if Madrid didn't receive any favorite calls. All top clubs did. Which is entirely different from what I have been asking you: Where is the evidence that Barca won the titles all those years only thanks to favorite calls?
Maybe, if i was actually responding to you and your context. To add to that, why exactly are you asking me something for which i have never claimed to begin with:"...only won thanks to favorite calls..."? Premium red herring i must say.
RM was already Champion at that point. It didn?t help Barcelona at all in the race for the trophy. Or is that detail lost on you?
Red herring? What the heck were you trying to insinuate with this " I would say 16 league and 13 Copa del Rey titles since the 90s, vs Madrid with 10 / 7, is quite fantastic. Seems it was money well spent." then?
You responded with perceived cases of Barca receiving favorite calls. Who hasn't? Madrid? Give me a break.
In what shape or form does that indicate "only"?
"Only" or not, what you said above did imply that money bought those titles and trophies, didn't it?
Not any close to only. Quality must be there, especially now considering the days of blatant match fixing are much harder to do as in the past. But, 8M definitely went nicely along to reduce variance.
To be honest if people are unable to comprehend why paying millions to high ranking official of ref organization, is bad...well then...
