"Barcelona" team will need to create a miracle to overturn a four-goal advantage of PSG in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. However, even in case of success, the Catalan club may face an unpleasant surprise in the future. UEFA's director Aleksandras Ceferin revealed to the media that the fate of "Barcelona" leaders Lionel Messi and Neymar hangs in the balance. The superstars may not be allowed to participate in the 2017 tournament final at the Cardiff stadium if Luis Enrique's pupils manage to reach it after all. This situation arose due to the decision of Great Britain to exit the European Union and the accelerated Brexit process will reduce the chances of indicted individuals to enter the country. It is specifically the Argentine and the Brazilian who are suspected in tax evasion cases. Ceferin's concerns were reinforced by the decision of British institutions in November of last year to not allow PSG defender Serge Aurier, who is under suspicion of assault, into the country. "We could have serious problems. If players involved in various law enforcement cases constantly face issues entering the UK, then in the future we will consider moving these matches elsewhere. Messi and Neymar are mentioned in tax evasion cases and imagine what would happen if they were not allowed to play in the UEFA Champions League final. We are ready to talk to the British authorities and the FA intends to help us, because these issues can cause major problems for fans of the teams," stated Ceferin.
