🚨🚨 COMMUNIQUE FROM FC BARCELONA!!! THE BLAUGRANA CLUB DENIES ANY NEW UEFA PROCEDURE ENGAGED AGAINST BARÇA. ❌ “In response to reports published regarding the alleged reactivation of the UEFA procedure in the Negreira case, FC Barcelona wishes to clarify the following: UEFA HAS NOT OPENED ANY NEW PROCEDURE AGAINST FC BARCELONA. ❗️ The procedure was initiated in 2023, with the appointment of two investigators who have since taken the action they deemed appropriate. The Club has always responded to all their requests. These procedures have not been reopened because they have never been closed. The UEFA statement confirms the receipt of the documentation submitted by Real Madrid and indicates that the investigators will evaluate it as part of the ongoing investigation. The same text expressly refers, twice, to an investigation and review that are “ongoing.” It does not announce the opening, reopening, or reactivation of any procedure, nor any assessment of the substance or value of the documentation provided. It invites the investigators to determine what action, if any, they deem appropriate regarding this documentation. To date, they have not made new requests to FC Barcelona and have not forwarded Real Madrid's complaint to the club. Should they do so, the Club will respond accordingly, as it has done so far. In accordance with the applicable legislation governing this matter, these procedures are subject to the outcome of the criminal case currently being heard in Spain and will continue to be so. Since the beginning of the investigation, FC Barcelona has continued to obtain its UEFA license without objection and has participated in UEFA competitions. To facilitate the verification of information, we reproduce below the complete original text of the UEFA statement: “UEFA can confirm that it has received from Real Madrid CF a substantial amount of documents related to the ongoing investigation into FC Barcelona in the case involving José María Enríquez Negreira, the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (the so-called "Negreira" case). UEFA's ethical and disciplinary inspectors have also received these latest documents, which they will evaluate as part of their ongoing review. FC Barcelona reiterates its full cooperation with the competent authorities and calls for rigor and accuracy in reporting this procedure.” (translated)
