Barcelona Faces Uphill Battle in Champions League Due to Financial Woes

Barcelona had a successful run in the 2024-25 Champions League, making it to the semi-finals before being eliminated by Inter. However, their prospects for the upcoming season may be hindered by their ongoing financial struggles.

Barcelona’s Repeat Offense of UEFA’s Financial Rules

According to reports, Barcelona has violated UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules for the second consecutive year. The club was fined €500k for their first offense in 2024, but this latest breach is likely to result in a more severe punishment that could impact their performance on the field.

UEFA is set to reveal more details on the matter soon. Alongside Barcelona, Premier League clubs Chelsea and Aston Villa have also breached FFP rules, but as first-time offenders, their consequences are expected to be less severe compared to Barcelona’s.

Potential Consequences for Barcelona

While the specific penalties for Barcelona are yet to be disclosed, it is speculated that they could face a reduced squad for the upcoming Champions League campaign. This means that manager Hansi Flick may have to work with fewer than 25 players. Another possible outcome is a point deduction that could see Barcelona starting the league phase with a negative tally.
