Miguel Galan – the president of the CENAFE (the National Centre of Football Managers) – has given his verdict on a report from AS that claims Real Madrid want Barcelona stripped of their titles and banned from European football over the Negreira case.
The 47-year-old is well-known for taking on the RFEF and notifying the Spanish government of wrong-doing. He’s written dozens of complaints during his career, including denouncing the decision to move the Spanish Supercopa to Saudi Arabia and in response
to Luis Rubiales’ forced kiss on Jenni Hermoso.
Galan has now issued a lengthy response on X to the report about Madrid sending a dossier to UEFA about Barcelona. He notes how Florentino Perez “is using Article 4 of UEFA’s disciplinary/competition framework as a political and legal lever to pressure for FC Barcelona to be excluded from European competitions over the “Negreira Case.”
The CENAFE president runs through the argument, stating that: “In the case of FC Barcelona, neither in criminal proceedings nor in federal or international disciplinary venues has the existence of even a single manipulated match been declared, which leaves without basis the minimum factual prerequisite to activate the ineligibility clause.”
Galan continues a little more before concluding that: “Claiming that UEFA strip titles from Barça, besides being politically delusional, is legally impossible due to prescription, lack of competitive typicality, and absence of concrete fixes to support it.”
