Champions League: Hansi Flick suspended against Newcastle?

Temporarily suspended by UEFA, will Hansi Flick ultimately be able to lead his team for the opening Champions League clash against Newcastle United on Thursday, September 18?

Good news for FC Barcelona. According to Cadena SER, the European governing body has overturned the sanction imposed on Flick and his assistant Marcus Sorg, who were initially punished for irregularities during the anti-doping control of Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski following the match against Inter Milan.

While the suspension has been lifted, both men still face a €20,000 fine. Barça had issued an official statement defending their position, explaining that the incident had no direct sporting consequences during the match. The German coach will therefore be present for this highly anticipated European showdown, much to the relief of the club and its supporters.
