Manchester United faced a penalty of 300,000 euros ($335,000) for their failure to fulfill the break-even requirement. This regulation aims to restrict the losses incurred by clubs and ensure financial stability within the sport. Unfortunately, United did not meet this requirement, resulting in the imposed fine by UEFA.
Barcelona, the reigning champions of Spain, was fined 500,000 euros for attempting to balance their accounts by counting gains from the sale of intangible assets, which are not considered significant income under the regulations.
Clubs are now able to record losses of no more than 30 million euros over a three-year period thanks to FFP regulations that were implemented in 2010.
Before adopting new licensing and sustainability regulations gradually over the following three seasons, UEFA employed those regulations for the last time during the 2017–18 season.
After achieving the goals outlined in a UEFA settlement agreement, Champions League finalists Inter Milan, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco, Roma, and Marseille were spared punishment.
The two million euro fines were imposed on Turkish team Trabzonspor and Belgian club Royal Antwerp, respectively.
