Barcelona is fined again! UEFA issues a new ticket, coach Flick is suspended in his first game

Barcelona has been in a state of turmoil lately. According to a reporter from Marca, UEFA issued another ticket, and the reason this time was a bit surprising: the two players did not go for doping tests on time.

The incident started after the Champions League match against Inter Milan last year. Yamal and Lewandowski, the two generals, did not immediately accept the arrangements of anti-doping officials as required after the game. After investigation, UEFA determined that they were late and did not cooperate completely, and the two were fined 5,000 euros each. The club also has to pay for it.

Barcelona is quite wronged, and sports director Deko said: "The players did not do it on purpose. They were too tired after the game, and there may be some misunderstandings in communication." But UEFA's rules are rules, especially on sensitive issues such as drug testing, which are not careless at all.

This is not the only bad news. Head coach Frick and his assistant were directly punished for having "misbehavior" in the Champions League match: Frick could not sit in the coaching seat for commanding in the first game of the Champions League in the new season! This is a big blow to the team. As soon as the coach is running out, he will be short of the coach's on-the-spot command.

What makes Barcelona even more troubled is the financial tightening curse. UEFA has issued a ticket before because they spent money to "exceed the standard": pay 15 million euros first, and whether the remaining 45 million euros can be exempted depends on whether Barcelona can pass the accounts in the next two years. UEFA will continue to keep an eye on their income and expenditure.

The new season of La Liga is about to start, and there are still new players in Barcelona who have not completed the registration. These troubles piled up together, casting a shadow on Barcelona fans' expectations for the new season. With UEFA's tickets, coach bans, and financial restrictions, Barcelona's start of this season is destined not to be easy.
