Barcelona calm amid claims of Champions League axing

Barcelona are calm amid claims they could be thrown out of the Champions League.

Die Welt is reporting UEFA are discussing dumping Barca out of the competition over financial irregularities. A ruling is expected in February.

However, Marca says Barca are calm about the report.

Barcelona are keen to point out that the numbers monitored by UEFA are transparent and comply with the required demands.

Everyone believes and are convinced that they have acted correctly and the concentration of Xavi, the players and the directors is only on the pitch.

The debt situation of the Catalan club is well known, despite the recently recorded profit of 304 million euros. According to the German newspaper, the disastrous picture of the Blaugrana could lead to a two or three year disqualification from the Champions League. "The greater the loss, the greater the sanction", explains the newspaper.
