Real Madrid and Barca’s Champions League places are threatened by the scаndаl surrounding the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales.
The issue surrounding Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), kissing Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the celebration of the 2023 World Cup championship, is still raging. In an apparent effort to confront the president of the Spanish Football Federation following the contentious episode, the World Football Federation (FIFA) decided to banish Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities for 90 days.
Spanish media reports that the RFEF is adamant about standing up for the same president, Luis Rubiales, in the face of numerous demands, including those from the Spanish Government. The European Football Confederation has even faced threats of expulsion from the Spanish Football Federation. In order to exercise influence over the Spanish Government, RFEF general secretary Andreu Camps specifically requests that UEFA forbid bullfighting from participating in any UEFA-sponsored competitions and exclude this nation’s football from UEFA.
Spanish clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, won’t take part in any UEFA-hosted European competitions, including the Champions League, if this “crаzy” thing actually happens. Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid share the same predicament as Real and Barcelona, while Real Betis and Villarreal are unable to participate in the Europa League, and Osasuna is eliminated from the Europa League.
Luis Rubiales is still under persistent pressure to resign from several teams, players, and coaches in Spain. FIFA intends to prohibit Luis Rubiales from participating in football-related activities for 15 years, according to a story in the Daily Mail. The source claims that Spanish authorities have launched a preliminary investigation to determine whether or not President Luis Rubiales is accountable for sexuаl аssаult. This implies that the situation might not be resolved in the near future.
