Barça president analyzed the recent sanction against Manchester City, which will be two years without playing the Champions League for breaking the rules of FFP.
“We want to vindicate the club model that Barça has. It is that model that Manolo constantly explained in his articles, writings and interviews. It is a club in which there are traditions, owned by 144,000 members, and it is a club in which democratic principles and freedom of expression are carried deep inside."
" It is a club carried out with rigor, always,” Bartomeu started, before praising UEFA for its work in controlling Financial Fair Play.
“In this regard, we thank UEFA that in recent years it has been so sure to follow up on the Financial Fair Play. At Barça we have been following it and we have regular investigations or we have meetings at UEFA to explain how we are doing it. From here we want to support UEFA for all the good it does in football, ”concluded Bartomeu.
