'How come did your team not concede a single penalty in 2 years?': Casillas aims dig at Barca

"It's incredible when a team [Barcelona] manages to not concede a penalty or get a man sent off for over two years. Did the opponents never reach your box when you played your tiki-taka [in your prime years]?" Iker Casillas has told Gerard Pique.

Casillas' words came after Pique claimed that both Barcelona and Real Madrid benefited from referee decisions in the recent past.

Anyway, we should not make any straightforward conclusions on the matter before the official investigation is conducted.

Barcelona actually didn't concede a single penalty kick in La Liga from 2016 to 2018 – the period in which the Catalans reportedly paid money to the former vice president of the Referee Committee.

Blaugrana explain that the ex-referee was simply providing the club with certain advisory reports, although this business from Josep Maria Bartomeu surely smells fishy.
