European Court hears case by Barcelona fans over Messi deal

Associated Press  

MADRID — The European Court is deciding if a Barcelona fan group in France can demand the European Commission investigate whether Paris Saint-Germain unfairly signed Lionel Messi and jeopardized Barcelona’s finances. The European Court will decide whether the European Commission must accept the group as an interested party and open an investigation into its complaint of alleged unlawful state aid to PSG. The fan group hopes an investigation will prompt the European Commission to take charge of Europe-wide financial fair play rules to regulate soccer leagues and prevent state-owned clubs like PSG from overspending. “Clubs like Barcelona are facing unfaithful competition and losing lots of money and risking going private, and then members will disappear.” The group’s objective is similar to what the Spanish league has been trying to do to contain the free spending of state-owned clubs like PSG and United Arab Emirates-backed Manchester City.
