UEFA confirms Real Madrid complaint as Negreira probe continues

UEFA has confirmed receipt of a formal complaint from Real Madrid regarding the ongoing Negreira investigation. Real Madrid submitted what it described as extensive documentation and evidence concerning past payments made by Barcelona to the former vice-president of Spain's Technical Committee of Referees. Following the confirmation, the club urged European football's governing body to bring the probe to an urgent and full conclusion.

UEFA affirmed that the submitted materials will be incorporated into its continuing investigation into the matter. However, the governing body has not announced new formal charges, sanctions, or a specific timetable for concluding the inquiry, leaving Real Madrid's request for prompt disciplinary decisions pending further review.
