The European Court ruled on the complaint about the transfer of Messi to Saint-Germain

The European Court of Justice has ruled against a group of Barcelona fans who have demanded that the European Commission investigate whether Paris Saint-Germain signed Lionel Messi unfairly and endangered Barcelona’s finances.

On Wednesday, a court in Luxembourg ruled that the European Commission is not required to accept the League as an interested party and is not obliged to open an investigation into its complaint about alleged illegal state support for Paris Saint-Germain.

The Barcelona Supporters Association in Lyon, France, filed an application last October alleging that its rights as members of Barcelona have been violated by clubs that enjoy an unfair advantage due to the lack of sufficient financial fair play rules in countries such as France. .

The goal of the league was similar to what the Spanish Football Federation is trying to do to contain the extravagant spending of state-owned clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and UAE-backed clubs like Manchester City.

The Spanish Confederation filed a complaint with the European Union over the game against Paris Saint-Germain, allegedly in breach of financial fair play rules, when it offered Kylian Mbappe a new deal that convinced him to turn down a move to Real Madrid.

It is noteworthy that Messi left the ranks of Barcelona, ​​in the summer of 2021, after the expiration of his contract, and the inability of the Catalan club to renew it for financial and economic reasons, to join Saint-Germain in a free transfer deal.
