Chelsea, Aston Villa, Barcelona, AS Roma and Lyon has all been fined by UEFA by breaching UEFA financial fair play regulations. Chelsea fined €20 million, Barcelona fined €15 million, Lyon fined €12.5 million, Aston Villa fined €11 million and AS Roma fined €3 million. I wonder how this got to happen but somehow somehow Manchester City escaped and the question on everyone's lips is how?
Especially for Chelsea, this fine could go up to 91 million euros if they don't solve their financial problems within four years, which is a pretty serious warning. Aston Villa and Lyon could also face even heavier fines in the future. Wow, UEFA has taken it seriously this time. These fines will put these clubs in a very difficult situation, they need to be very careful financially from now on.
Aston Villa and Roma seem to have gotten off a bit easier, but these fines still hurt.
