"UEFA wanted to punish us by not allowing us to play in the next Champions League. And the fact that Barcelona isn't a limited company and can't increase its capital was one of the arguments we used to get UEFA to reduce the fine for breaching financial fair play from 60 million to 15 million,"
"They also wanted to sanction us by not allowing us to play in the next Champions League."
UEFA sought to bar Barcelona from participating in the next Champions League as a sanction for breaching financial fair play rules. The governing body initially proposed a €60 million fine, which was later reduced to €15 million after mitigation measures. Barcelona's status as a non‑limited company and its inability to increase capital were cited as factors in reducing the penalty. The club highlighted the severity of potential sanctions while addressing its financial position. Barcelona return to Champions League competition on Tuesday to face Olympiacos in their third group-stage match.
