Barcelona on the verge if getting out
Not only Champions League, but as per the rules, in Europa as well as in the Conference league the admission criteria as well as the procedures for clubs and underline that the clubs might not have participated in any way considering the illegal alteration of matches at both the national as well as international levels.
