Barcelona have been slapped with another fine by UEFA for breaching financial Fair Play regulations.
The news comes as no surprise as club chief Joan Laporta had met with UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin in a bid to discuss possible sanctions.
There were fears that Barca could have faced a heftier sanction, as this is the second time they have fallen foul of the rules, but UEFA have decided against going down that route.
Instead, Barcelona will have to cough up a hefty €15 million for making excessive losses.
Barcelona are not the only club in trouble with Europe’s governing body, either. Chelsea have been fined €31m which is a record sum in a single season.
The Premier League big spenders were fined €20m for failing to approach break-even and €11m for spending more than a 80% set limit of its revenue on so-called “squad cost” such as transfers and wages.
Aston Villa were also hit with a €11m fine, Lyon must pay €12.5m, and Roma €3m.
