Barcelona has recently made headlines due to a scandal involving suspected bribery and corruption related to payments made to a former official of Spain's refereeing committee. Additionally, the club faced a setback when their 19-year-old midfielder, Gavi, suffered a serious knee injury during Spain's Euro 2024 qualifier, ruling him out for the rest of the season and potentially Euro 2024. On a more positive note, Barcelona's former player, Dani Alves, has been on trial for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a Barcelona nightclub in 2022, leading to a court sentencing him to four and a half years in prison.
