Barcelona to Appeal €23 Million Tax Fine to Supreme Court

The fine, related to agent payments between 2012 and 2015, exacerbates the club's financial woes amid allegations of unfair treatment compared to Real Madrid.

Barcelona faces a €23 million fine from the Spanish tax authorities for incorrect tax payments on agent fees between 2012 and 2015.
The club's appeal against the fine was rejected by Spain's National Court, prompting Barcelona to announce plans to appeal to the Supreme Court.
This financial setback adds to Barcelona's existing debts, estimated at around €1.5 billion, further complicating their financial situation.
Real Madrid, in contrast, successfully appealed similar tax cases, leading Barcelona to allege unfair treatment by the courts.
Barcelona's on-field performance has also suffered, with the team lagging behind Real Madrid in the current season.
