UEFA still content to push through Barcelona European ban if necessary

Barcelona President Joan Laporta fired shots at a number of rivals on Monday as he defended the club from accusations of corruption, but UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin was not among the collateral damge.

In contrast to Real Madrid and La Liga President Javier Tebas, Laporta offered an olive branch to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, even though the Slovenian declared it one of the most serious situations he had seen.

“UEFA has not joined this public lynching and I am convinced that this [sanctions] will not occur. It would be an unprecedented event with a club of the level of Barca. UEFA knows that hypotheses that are not real are being validated. And beyond the fact that we have some discrepancies, Mr. Ceferin is also acting prudently and responsibly.”

However Diario AS say that UEFA are unlikely to be deterred in rapidly seeking the course of justice this summer. The European body will not go through the Discipline and Ethics Committee to hand out a punishment should their investigation find evidence that Barcelona tried to influence matches.

They will do so to speed the process up, going instead straight to the Appeals Committee. Barcelona would then be able to appeal to both the Discipline and Ethics Committee, as well as the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the Blaugrana would face a summer of uncertainty, with the impact on income likely to be significant if they are banned.

Laporta was clearly keen not to further rough up their relationship with UEFA and Ceferin further, knowing that expulsion from Europe could be disastrous. It could also have a major impact on the clubs below them, as fifth-place would then get into the Champions League if Barcelona were banned.

  1. The situation is very simple. The charges against bribELona will be dropped the moment they abandon SL project as we know how cIown ceferin operates by tit for tat *cough City PSG FFP cough*.

    If it only was that easy, right?

    Well no. Looking back at last two years of flopping like a mawfkr on the biggest stage, its obvious that they have no business in CL anymore and there are no more levers to pull, this is the squad they will stick to for a while, unless they sell players. SL was the only way to fix their profoundly rotten economy.

    So, in other words bribELona cannot afford to abandon SL project as they are losing money on Uefas competitions, evidently.

    A loss loss situation for the club. Lmao Im LOVING it.🫵🤣

    1. Am very happy you knew super league is the cause of this attack on Barcelona.. and that’s the reason why everyone of you gang up against the innocent club because of SUPER LEAGUE.. You call my club Bribelona ? May God forgive you.. Why can’t you guy’s come out and tell the whole world your grievances against Barcelona than beating around the bush, we would kneel and apologize than tarnishing our precious name and records.
