After a season in which he won the LaLiga title but was also rocked by the “Negreira scandal”, FC Barcelona was threatened with expulsion from European competition.

UEFA gave the green light to FC Barcelona in the Champions League due to a lack of evidence

UEFA told the management of the Catalan club on Friday that the first report did not find convincing evidence for exclusion from the Champions League, but the case is not closed, writes Marca.

After the outbreak of the “Negreira affair”, in which the champion of Spain is accused of corruption, UEFA opened a case for a situation that it considers abnormal and violates the principles of the competition.

The matter will now go before UEFA’s Ethics and Disciplinary Committee, which is expected to make a final decision in the next two to three weeks.

From the very beginning, the Barcelona bosses were sure that there would be no penalty.

President Joan Laporta explained several times that he had spoken with Ceferin and that the fans had nothing to worry about.

A possible expulsion from the Champions League will have serious consequences for FC Barcelona, ​​both sporting and financial, at a time when the club is suffering economically.
