Barcelona had a productive campaign in the 2024-25 Champions League, reaching the semi-finals before being defeated across two legs by Inter. But a similar run in next season’s competition may be tougher to achieve after recent developments in regards to the club’s well-documented financial woes.
It is no secret that Barcelona have been struggling financially, and until now, their efforts to improve the situation have not been enough. They only just managed to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor for the second half of last season due to registration problems that stemmed from their money woes, and they are about to be affected in the Champions League too.
As reported by The Times (via Marca), Barcelona have breached UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules for the second successive year. The club were ordered to pay €500k for their first offence in 2024, but this latest one will bring a harsher punishment, which is more likely to affect the sporting side of things.
UEFA are expected to release details on the matter in the coming weeks, But according to the report, Premier League clubs Chelsea and Aston Villa are also in breach of the European football’s governing body FFP rules, but given that it is only a first offence for both clubs, their punishment will not be as severe of Barcelona’s.
While it is not yet known what punishment Barcelona could face, it is reported that they could have a reduced squad for next season’s Champions League – meaning that Hansi Flick would not be able to count on 25 players, but rather, a lower number. Another possibility is a points deduction that could see the Catalans start the league phase with a negative tally.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi (PSG President): "I’m very proud of this team, but I also want to honestly thank the first players we signed. Javier Pastore, Thiago Silva, Zlatan, Cavani, Thiago Motta, Di Maria and also Neymar, Messi, Mbappé… What they did for the club, I will never forget it. They were part of this success."

financial fair play rules... that is just an administrative element of football, relevant yes but not that highly.. what people do not see it that Uefa just like laliga have been looking for means sitting down the new league that real madrid and barca have been pushing for. and the only way of doing so,has. been to look for ways of disturbilise the teams heading this issue. Juve dropped out due to pressure, Madrid is more structured and has influential backers, so barca is an easier target, with the help of the pandemic and bad management both laliga and uefa have found a weak sport to inflict harm on Barca. Barca and Real Madrid know it thats why, you find real Madrid fighting on Barca's side. If Barca goes down then it just now real Madrid against these soccer governing bodies. the issue at play if nothing but the supper league shutdown .
