Nani

This seemed to be theme a lot for us and english clubs in Europe around that era, one of the biggest robberies in football was barca vs chelsea when Drogba started swearing at the camera, people seem to forget how damn lucky pep was to even get to the champions league final that year
Barcelona should not have been in the 2009 CL final. Everyone could see that match was an absolute travesty.

No surprises when it came out down the track that Barcelona were bribing referees around that time. Yet another stain on Pep's legacy.

Yes this is greatly overlooked, when people point out that pep had it easy in managing the dominant bayern where they would cherry pick players from their rivals and man city where he was backed with oil money and had almost flawless foundations laid out for him behind the scenes.

The pro pep fans will say look at how he turned around barca when he took over despite ignoring the fact that he happened to have quite possibly have the best ever player in football history fall in his lap and had barca officials bribing refs domestically and had massive fortune in his first CL win to the point that you had to think that barca were also giving bribes in Europe.

The game that Barcelona completely dominated and Chelsea parked several buses?
 
Seems to be in some bother about stealing a fans money over a shirt he wore at a WC/Euros.

Not quite. Fan says bought a shirt on second hand clothing app Vinted. He says it's not one the players wore, just a regular one that was made to look like the player edition shirts. He says he was aware ff this when buying, and that the seller was clear about it too.

He approaches Nani to sign it after training. Nani asks him where he got it, keeps it and drives away, saying he'd recently had some shirts stolen from his house.

So it's a shirt that Nani stole from him, not money. It wasn't worn by him, just made to look like the ones that were is the claim. From Nani's perspective, he thinks he's reclaiming his own stolen property.

Nani's current club contacted the guy about it, asked him to remove his posts and assured him they'd get the shirt back to him. They didn't make that happen so he's posting again. He says he'd be ok with just getting the money that he paid for the shirt but that hasn't happened either.

Police reports were filed at the time accusing Nani of theft according to the guy, and the whole thing was captured by other fans on mobile phone footage who were hoping to meet Nani/get his signature. He says he showed that to police.
