After information about the “Negreira affaire,” UEFA declared in a statement that it is looking into FC Barcelona. FC Barcelona has already been notified by the organization, and a file has already been opened.
On “El Larguero,” Manu Carreo provided the most recent information about this problem. If it is determined that Barca broke the rules, UEFA may exclude Xavi’s team from European championships. If it is found that they broke UEFA’s rules, they could receive a sentence that, according to the rules, could last up to five years. It would not be permitted to participate in the Europa League or the Champions League in such a situation.

“Barcelona will be subject to a severe penalty, according to UEFA. Ceferin will want a historic sanction but does not want his request to be rejected by CAS “Manu Carreno remarked. We’ll see what transpires, he concluded.
