“We are experiencing something incredible”

Uriarte spoke a handful of minutes after the decision of the Spanish Higher Sports Council to authorize Barça to reinstate Dani Olmo and Victor to its squad. This provisional measure “suspends the cancellation of the sports licenses” of the two players and also maintains their validity until the outcome of the dispute.
