Barcelona have been cleared of all charges regarding allegation the club made payments to referees’ chief.<\/p>\n
In March the UEFA governing body was looking into claims that the Catalans made transactions to one of the referee main bodies.<\/p>\n
The team dismissed all the claim and pleaded innocence.<\/p>\n
The club still remains under threat as UEFA reserves the rights to punish them in the future, despite giving the green light on the Champions League.<\/p>\n
It was alleged that Barcelona paid 8.4m euros (\u00a37.4m) to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, the former vice-president of Spain’s referees’ committee and his Dasnil 95 company.<\/p>\n
UEFA\u2019s statement said:<\/p>\n
“The investigators in charge of the case are invited to continue and finalise their investigation and to send a further report to the appeals body if and when they consider that the admission\/exclusion of FC Barcelona [in the Champions League] should be assessed.”<\/p>\n
