What is #Barçagate? An unprecedented refereeing scandal in Spanish football. Favors arbitration was recognized by Alfons Godall, a former FC Barcelona vice-president (2003-10) when Joan Laporta was the president.

Godall has voiced his belief that Barcelona's support for Angel Maria Villar in his battle for the RFEF presidency with Gerardo Gonzalez benefitted the Catalans in those years: "I think Laporta cultivated very good relations with these institutions and that helped us" Godall stated to Journalist Josep Soldado (La Sexta TV) on (08/03/2012)
