Barcelona are allegedly facing harsher sanctions after breaching UEFA financial regulations for a second time, according to reports.

The Catalan club initially breached the European governing body's rules last year, and were threatened with the possibility of a ban from their flagship competition, the Champions League, for the 2024-25 season.

But Barcelona eventually only received a fine of £420,000 (€500,000), and were cleared to compete in the last European campaign.

The Blaugrana however remain mired in financial woes, with the club struggling to balance the books and stay in line with the stringent regulations required by both the European and domestic leagues.
