After the filing of accusations related to the Negreira affair, Barcelona may be BANNED from the Champions League.
According to Marca, Barcelona's prospects of competing in European competition next season are in grave danger as a result of the Public Prosecutor's Office initiating the complaint and charging Barcelona.
UEFA could be in a position to determine that the existence of the Catalan squad in the European championships next season would harm the prestige of the Champions League if it is accepted for processing, which all indicators point to it being done.
There is no space for doubt under Article 4 of the competition regulations. In reality, the purpose of this article's entry into force is to create a line of defense to safeguard the principles that UEFA wants to establish in order to assure a respectable competition and, in particular, the spirit of the game.
The admission requirements and procedures for clubs are outlined in Paragraph G of Article 4 of the regulations for the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League, and it is emphasized that clubs may not have participated in any way in the illegal alteration of matches at the national and international level. This runs directly counter to the grounds for the prosecution's complaint of condemnation.
UEFA asked for information about the state of the investigation, the requests, and the allegations a few days ago. This has raised red flags in Nyon and at Camp Nou.
