The report indicated that Barcelona officials are concerned about the possibility of preventing the Catalan team from participating in the Champions League next season, exacerbating the financial crisis for Barca.
It is noteworthy that the Spanish prosecutor’s office decided to charge Barcelona in a corruption case and pay money to Jose Maria Negrera, the former deputy chairman of the refereeing committee.
