Barcelona have called for LaLiga president Javier Tebas to resign after it was alleged he provided false evidence against them.

La Vanguardia reported Monday that Tebas handed over documents to prosecutors which attempted to incriminate Barca and two former club presidents as part of the investigation into payments made to the former vice president of the refereeing committee in Spain.

However, according to the report, the documents were part of another case, not linked to ex-Barca presidents Sandro Rosell or Josep Maria Bartomeu and were decades old.

Tebas responded on Twitter by saying that the title of the article was "false," he did not "specifically accuse anyone" of anything and accusing the journalist of "slander."

However, Barca replied later on Monday demanding a deeper explanation from Tebas, expressing their "deep anger, indignation and disgust" and demanding his resignation.

"Barcelona, as president Joan Laporta has said in recent weeks, feel the victim of a media lynching based on events that have never occurred: Barca have never bought referees," a statement said.
