Real Madrid urges UEFA action against Barcelona in Negreira case
Summary

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez handed evidence to UEFA regarding the Barcelona-Negreira scandal during a meeting earlier today. Madrid has formally requested UEFA to address the issue urgently, citing the absence of a statute of limitations on bribery under UEFA's regulations. However, UEFA is awaiting the outcome of ongoing Spanish criminal proceedings against Barcelona, making their response contingent on a verdict from the RFEF. With the last alleged bribery payment made in 2018, RFEF's three-year limitation period complicates potential sanctions at the national level.
