Speaking of the Barca love-in, it seems as though they're in more hot legal water.

Quote:
Barcelona say a Spanish court investigation into Neymar’s transfer from Santos last summer is unjustified and should be immediately dismissed.

The Catalan club has issued a strongly worded statement demanding the "unnecessary" investigation be stopped, while suggesting that it is being unfairly targeted by the prosecuting judge.

Barca’s claim that just 57 million euros was paid has been challenged by Cases, and other observers, who say that various add-ons mean the total outlay is as much as 74 million euros. It is also alleged that 40 million euros of the fee went to Neymar and his family as a "signing bonus," which has led to legal action being taken by third-party investors in Brazil who feel they have been cut out of the deal.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
