Euro ban ‘unjust’ insist Malaga

Spanish side Malaga have accused Uefa of unfair and unjust treatment after they were banned from European competition for one season due to outstanding debts.

The club have also been threatened with a further year’s European ban by the governing body unless they prove they have no debts to other clubs, players or the tax authorities.

Malaga, owned by the Qatari al-Thani family, are currently fourth in the Primera Division and through to the last 16 of this year’s Champions League but have had huge struggles with financial problems.
