Barcelona have been included in UEFA\u2019s provisional list for UCL next season. (Photo by David Ramos\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThe inclusion has reopened the debate surrounding Barcelona\u2019s participation in the tournament, given the backdrop of the Negreira affair and Real Madrid\u2019s attempts to have the club sanctioned. <\/p>\n
It also prompted a strong reaction from Miguel Galan, president of CENAFE, who interpreted the news as a significant blow to Real Madrid\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n
Is Real Madrid\u2019s complaint useless?<\/h2>\n Galan argued that Barcelona\u2019s presence on the list demonstrates that the club cannot be excluded from European competition while the Negreira case remains pending resolution in the Spanish courts.<\/p>\n
He claimed that UEFA had effectively confirmed Barcelona would feature in the next Champions League and would not be sanctioned over the Negreira case. <\/p>\n
He added the club\u2019s inclusion as disproving any attempt to exclude Barcelona administratively while a criminal process remains open in Spain.<\/p>\n
The CENAFE president went on to describe the documentation submitted by Real Madrid to UEFA as \u201cuseless,\u201d insisting that jurisdiction to determine any potential criminal liability lies exclusively with the Spanish courts. <\/p>\n
He also suggested the events under investigation would be time-barred under Spanish law, and maintained that Barcelona had not committed any crime of sporting corruption.<\/p>\n
In his view, UEFA is simply applying the principle of presumption of innocence and will await a definitive court ruling before considering any disciplinary action.<\/p>\n
However, a note of caution is warranted, as UEFA has been clear that the published list does not constitute a final decision on club participation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
