Real Madrid have asked UEFA to strip Barcelona of titles won during the period covered by the Negreira case.
Real Madrid submitted a dossier containing around 50,000 pages of documents, evidence and statements to UEFA.
The submission comes as UEFA has formally continued its disciplinary investigation into Barcelona and its payments to former Spanish refereeing official José María Enríquez Negreira.
Barcelona paid €8.4 million to Negreira between 2001 and 2018. At the time, he was vice-president of Spain’s Technical Committee of Referees.
The case first became public in 2023 and has remained a major issue in Spanish football.
UEFA has now confirmed that it received a substantial amount of documentation from Real Madrid relating to the investigation.
The organisation’s Ethics and Disciplinary Inspectors will assess the material as part of their ongoing review.
Real Madrid have reportedly asked UEFA to remove the titles Barcelona won during the years covered by the payments.
The Madrid club’s request does not mean Barcelona have been stripped of any trophies.
UEFA must first examine the evidence and allow the Catalan club to respond before any disciplinary decision is made.
Barcelona have also stressed that the UEFA case was never formally closed.
The club said it has continued to cooperate with the investigation and has not been formally notified of any new disciplinary action resulting from Real Madrid’s latest submission.
UEFA could also consider other sporting sanctions if its investigation establishes a breach of its regulations.
Article 4 of UEFA’s regulatory framework provides for possible exclusion from European competitions in circumstances involving attempts to influence the outcome or integrity of matches.
For now, however, no final sporting punishment has been announced.
UEFA will examine the large volume of material submitted by Real Madrid before determining what further action, if any, should follow.
