Spanish soccer club Malaga, which is owned by Qatar’s Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Thani, was barred from next season’s Champions League for breaking so-called financial fair-play rules.
European soccer’s ruling body, UEFA, said on its website that the club must also pay a 300,000 euro ($395,000) fine and may get a further ban if it doesn’t prove by March 31 that it has no overdue payments to clubs, employees or tax authorities.
