While FC Barcelona won a first legal battle to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in La Liga, Spanish clubs like Atlético de Madrid are crying injustice…
This is a case that has not stopped being talked about, especially since it is not yet officially over. On Wednesday, Barça had already received the first good news from the Spanish Sports Council, which had authorized the Catalan club to replay Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. And this Thursday evening, the good news was confirmed by La Liga, which included the two Blaugrana in its list of recruits. Which therefore means that until the outcome of the dispute, Olmo and Victor will be able to play knowing that the measure taken by the Council suspends the cancellation of the licenses.
Enough to make Barça happy. “Good news for FC Barcelona. Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor were registered in La Liga. The two Barça players are thus available to Hansi Flick to play in the final of the Spanish Super Cup this Sunday, January 12. Wednesday January 8, the Superior Sports Council (CSD) gave the precautionary measure allowing Olmo and Pau Víctor to play. And, this Thursday, January 9, the two already appear as registered in La Liga »explained the FCB in a press release.

This announcement of the validity of Olmo and Victor’s contracts in any case continues to raise discontent in Spain, where certain clubs are complaining publicly, such as Las Palmas and Malaga. But it is now the turn of a major club in Spain to denounce an injustice. Given that this Thursday evening, Atlético de Madrid published an incendiary press release.
“Atlético de Madrid wants to show its deep concern about the situation generated in Spanish football after the resolution adopted this Wednesday by the Superior Sports Council. We consider that this decision endangers the current system, calling into question the rules of the game. Sports law includes and protects the economic control of La Liga. With this resolution, he is put in danger. The economic control of La Liga has been the main tool put in place in our football to ensure its solvency. Our club, like all members of La Liga until this resolution, have respected the rules of economic control and we will continue to respect them. This government intervention sets a very dangerous precedent, because it opens the door to violations of the rules and the repetition of serious mistakes of the past”we can read on the Colchoneros website, who therefore believe that Barça has flouted the rules of financial fair play without being totally sanctioned…
