UEFA Publishes Ruling on Barcelona Doping-Control Clash After Inter Loss

The written decision details a seven‑minute observation lapse, verbatim exchanges, plus the rationale for suspended coach bans alongside €5,000 fines for Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal.

Overview

  • UEFA released the full disciplinary reasoning from the post‑match incident following Inter 4–3 Barcelona in the Champions League semi‑final.
  • The appeal outcome left Hansi Flick and Marcus Sorg with one‑match bans suspended for a year on probation.
  • Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal were fined €5,000 each for their roles in the episode.
  • The ruling cites an approximately seven‑minute break in continuous observation for both players, which contravenes anti‑doping protocol.
  • The document records heated exchanges including Flick shouting “you have no soul” and accounts of staff pushing a controller, while Barcelona called the reaction spontaneous and acknowledged inappropriate behavior.
