Barcelona had missed a crucial deadline to prove compliance with La Liga\u2019s financial fair play rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this setback, the club appealed to the CSD, which granted a provisional registration, allowing the players to participate while awaiting a final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This move has not been well received. Athletic Club president Jon Uriarte called it &#8220;grotesque,&#8221; suggesting that the decision was politically motivated. &#8220;It is a provisional measure,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A situation like this cannot happen because it is very bad for football.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-54-1024x553.png\" alt=\"Barcelona\" class=\"wp-image-7607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-54-1024x553.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-54-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-54-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-54-150x81.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-54-696x376.png 696w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-54-1068x577.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-54.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Reaction from Athletic Club<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletic Club responded quickly, voicing strong disapproval of the ruling. Uriarte expressed disbelief, calling it an &#8220;incredible&#8221; situation. His club had been working hard to grow Spanish football, only to face what they view as an unjust decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uriarte emphasized that such rulings damage the reputation of Spanish football. This frustration was compounded by Athletic&#8217;s 2-0 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Las Palmas also joined the protest, issuing a statement condemning the CSD\u2019s decision. The club warned that the ruling could destabilize Spanish football and undermine the competition\u2019s integrity. They also criticized the fact that the decision was made without consulting La Liga or the RFEF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Barcelona Defends Its Actions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona\u2019s sporting director, Deco, defended the club\u2019s actions, asserting that every club faces its own set of challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re doing things well at Bar\u00e7a, trying to do things in the best way possible,&#8221; Deco said. He pointed out that the governing bodies and courts had granted the registration for a reason, implying the decision was valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletic\u2019s I\u00f1aki Williams also expressed surprise at the ruling. He said it felt like the rules were not applied equally to all clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he acknowledged that the decision had been made, suggesting that it was a complex issue affecting Spanish football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>La Liga Weighs In<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>La Liga president Javier Tebas voiced his own surprise at the CSD\u2019s ruling. He questioned why Real Madrid TV, which often criticizes La Liga\u2019s decisions, had been silent on the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tebas expressed concern that the ruling did not represent the collective voice of Spanish football. His remarks highlight the growing division between football\u2019s governing bodies in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-53.png\" alt=\"Barcelona\" class=\"wp-image-7605\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.78;width:1068px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-53.png 801w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-53-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-53-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-53-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-53-696x391.png 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Temporary Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, Barcelona can count on Olmo and V\u00edctor, who will be available for Sunday\u2019s Spanish Super Cup final. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This provides a much-needed boost to the team. Olmo, a \u20ac60 million summer signing from RB Leipzig, and V\u00edctor, who joined from Girona, are both important players for Barcelona. They will be available for up to three months, pending a final decision on their registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court has set a deadline of April 7th to make a final ruling. If the CSD confirms the registration, the players will remain available for the remainder of the season. If not, Barcelona will lose two key players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Bigger Picture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Barcelona is pleased with the temporary registration, other clubs like Atl\u00e9tico Madrid have expressed concern about the long-term effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atl\u00e9tico fears that this decision undermines the financial control mechanisms that have made La Liga a financially stable league. The club believes the ruling opens the door for clubs to bypass financial rules, which could lead to unfair competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the temporary registration of Dani Olmo and Pau V\u00edctor has stirred significant controversy in Spanish football. While Barcelona celebrates the decision, rival clubs are worried about the impact on the competition\u2019s fairness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a final decision from the CSD expected in April, it\u2019s clear that this issue will continue to divide opinion in Spanish football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To stay updated on this drama and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/\">get more sports news stayed tuned to Bangbet News.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona&#8216;s decision to temporarily register Dani Olmo and Pau V\u00edctor has caused a stir in Spanish football.
