 Barcelona allowed to participate in UEFA CL 2023-24

FC Barcelona has been temporarily allowed to play in the 2023-24 Champions League amid a Uefa investigation into allegations that the club paid bribes to the head of referees

In March, European football's governing body confirmed it was investigating allegations of payments made by Barcelona to secure better refereeing decisions

Barcelona have denied making those mistakes. While granting the permission temporarily, Uefa reserved the right to punish the club in the future

Uefa's investigation came after a criminal investigation was launched by Barcelona's public prosecutor's office on March 10

It was claimed that Barcelona paid 8.4m euros (£7.4m) to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, the former vice-president of the Spanish referees committee and his company Dasnil 95
