According to the Times , the Catalan club has violated UEFA's financial rules for two consecutive years. In October last year, Barcelona lost an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against a €500,000 fine for underreporting profits.
At the time, CAS said it would only impose a light fine on Barcelona. But it also warned that if they re-offend, they will face more severe penalties.
According to the Times , Barcelona has made the same mistake for the second time. UEFA is expected to release details of the teams that have not complied with financial regulations in the coming weeks, including Barcelona.
The penalties Barcelona could face could include registering fewer players than other clubs in the Champions League, or even having their points deducted for next season. The most severe punishment the team could face is being kicked out of the competition.
In addition to Barcelona, Chelsea and Aston Villa could also face sanctions from UEFA for similar violations. However, the two Premier League clubs could face lighter punishments because they are first-time offenders.
Barcelona face a huge challenge in maintaining their position in European football. If they are kicked out of the Champions League, it will be a big blow for Hansi Flick and his team. This move will have a heavy impact on the club's finances next season.
In the 2024/25 season, Barcelona stopped at the Champions League semi-finals and earned more than 116 million euros in prize money from UEFA, according to Football Meets Data .
