Barcelona players are fuming over claims of bonus demands made in recent weeks.
Diario Gol reports one local Catalan daily made the claim that Barca's senior players had requested extra cash bonuses for the comeback against Champions League opponents PSG and their win at Real Madrid. However, within hours the story was taken down.
It's suggested the story created such a wildfire on social media that it reached the Barca locker room, where senior players had demanded the story be removed.
Indeed, locker room sources insist Barca players believe the exact opposite, insisting that such has been the inconsistency of their season that demanding bonuses for one off games would be "embarrassing".
Meanwhile, there remains the belief amongst the squad that Barca can finish the season title winners, despite still relying on Real to yet stumble again.
