Leeds United’s Marcelo Bielsa has clarified the Spygate scandal.

Jamie Carragher looks on before the UEFA Champions League group H match between Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium on November 1, 2017 in London, United Kingdom.

Leeds United have been embroiled in a ‘Spygate’ scandal in recent days – and boss Marcelo Bielsa has had his say on the controversy.

The Whites beat Derby County 2-0 at Elland Road on Friday night, but it wasn’t the main story connected to Leeds’ latest victory on their hunt for promotion.

In the days leading up to the game, Derby caught a Leeds staff member spying on their training sessions, which Bielsa admitted he ordered.

Some have called for bizarrely harsh punishments such as points deductions, and Bielsa called an emergency press conference this evening.

Bielsa revealed that he has sent staff to watch every single one of Leeds’ opponents this season, and went into great detail about just how Leeds beat Derby – and it wasn’t because of spying.

Leeds fans and even neutrals have hailed Bielsa for his press conference, which also noted that he has extensive databases on every team.

After admitting that he has watched every opposing team’s training sessions this season, pundit Jamie Carragher took to Twitter to admit that he loves the Argentinian even more now after such an incredible admission.
