The scandal rocked Barcelona. The trainer molested and harmed children! This has been happening over the years

Masturbation with children. Exposing yourself to them, as well as touching them in intimate places. Watching porn together. And on top of that, various “games and activities” that were to foster direct physical contact between the coach and young footballers. These are just some of the accusations heard by 71-year-old Albert Benaiges, who was dismissed from the academy after working for almost 40 years.

– We were playing a game where we had to take his pants off. He masturbated as he watched us do it. Sometimes he made us strip naked or sit in front of him in chairs while the trainer told the rest of the class about the male and female body parts, touching the penis and vagina – the journal “ARA” reports the testimonies. And there are at least 60 witnesses.

However, the accused did not plead guilty. He remembers there were some complaints after he entered the girls’ locker room, but stated that he had no ill will. He only did this to see if the students were taking a shower. He categorically denies ever having touched anyone. – I wouldn’t do anything now. Absolutely nothing. I wish I had done all of this, but I don’t think I did anything wrong. I’ve never hurt anyone, and if anything, it wasn’t intentional. I really have a clear conscience. I did not force anyone to do anything – the Catalan daily quotes Albert Benaiges.

Barcelona’s powerful crisis

This is another blow for Barca, who also suffers from sports. In this edition of the Champions League, she scored just two goals and for the first time in 20 years will play in the Europa League (previously the UEFA Cup). After losing 3-0 to Bayern, the coach was “absolutely furious”. There was a grave atmosphere in the cloakroom. He wasn’t able to say anything for the first 30 seconds, then made a long speech in which he attacked some of the players, saying that “some of you don’t understand what it means to play for Barca.” You can read more.
