Following the controversy that ensued after RFEF President Luis Rubiales kissed World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso on the lips, a new and concerning development has come to light. In an astonishing act of support for Rubiales, The Spanish FA have urged UEFA to “suspend” them from all UEFA competitions if the body intends to kick out Rubiales from his position and suspend him from all activity. This could mean serious repercussions for Spanish clubs including giants Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

This development will affect both Real and Barca who compete in the UCL, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid who have qualified for the Europa League as well as Osasuna in the Europa Conference League. The possibility of Spanish clubs being expelled arose out of the decision of Andreu Camps to question the interference of the Spanish Government in the Rubiales scandal.
