UEFA's decision to expel to the FC Barcelona of Champions League, Messi wouldn't arrive

UEFA has considered that there are sufficient arguments for a potential breach of the regulations. Therefore, they believe that there is a case and proceeded to open a file to carry out an investigation into the Negreira Case in recent days, since the European entity considered it necessary.

10 days ago, UEFA announced that it was beginning an exhaustive investigation into the Negreira Case because it was "a possible violation of the UEFA legal framework by Barça." In accordance with article 31 of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, inspectors have been appointed to carry out an investigation.

"It is one of the most serious situations that I have seen in football." This is how forceful the top leader of continental football, Aleksander Ceferin, has shown himself during an interview with a media outlet from his country of origin, Ekipa, from Slovenia. This could affect the future of Barcelona in UEFA.

"I cannot comment directly on this for two reasons. Firstly, because we have an independent disciplinary committee. And secondly, because I have not dealt with this matter in detail. However, I can say something. Informed, the situation is extremely serious ", the Slovenian leader told the sports newspaper Ekipa.

UEFA will not give up on investigation

Ceferin also stressed that for UEFA the case has not prescribed: “It is so serious that, in my opinion, it is one of the most serious in football that I have seen. At the level of the Spanish League, of course, the matter is prescribed and cannot have competitive consequences, but the proceedings are ongoing at the level of the Spanish civil prosecutor's office. But in UEFA, there is nothing that is prescribed.
