Sid is joined by Jitesh the founder of Peña Madridista Bombay for a deep discussion on the Negreira case, Barcelona and what Real Madrid should actually be pushing for as the investigation continues.
They get into the payments at the center of the case, the explanations surrounding Negreira’s companies, why UEFA matters, and whether Real Madrid’s changing relationship with European football has opened a new path for the club to pursue answers.
The conversation then gets much bigger: Pep Guardiola and Barcelona’s football identity, the divide between Madrid and Barça supporters, Florentino Pérez’s institutional power, the fight over Real Madrid’s socio model, and whether international Madridistas should eventually have a pathway into the club itself.
