Barcelona listed for 2026-27 Champions League despite Negreira case
Summary

UEFA has included Barcelona on its provisional list of teams qualified for the 2026-27 Champions League. This announcement comes amid ongoing legal issues related to the Negreira case, which has prompted Real Madrid to seek Barcelona's exclusion from European competitions. Miguel Galan, president of CENAFE, views Barcelona's inclusion as a setback for Real Madrid's complaint, indicating that UEFA's decision supports Barcelona's standing while legal proceedings are unresolved. The publication of this list does not constitute a final decision regarding participation in the tournament, according to UEFA.
