After seeding the doubts on the possible does not witness of Leo Messi and Neymar Júnior in a hypothetical final of the Barça in the Champions League that contests in Cardiff, to the president of the UEFA, Aleksander Ceferin, answered him. It did it the own British executive through a spokesman by means of the British embassy in Spain.

"This is a disparate. The British Government already has competitions to prevent that somebody go in in the United Kingdom if has a previous conviction, was or was not citizen of a country of the European Union", ensures the British government.

And it is that, as they aim from the islands, "so much Neymar like Messi have gone in in the United Kingdom recently". As the two genii played so much in the Manchester City-Barça (3-1) and in the Celtic-Barça (0-2), in the phase of groups of the Champions 2016/17. And thus "now there is not any reason to suggest that no went them to allow the entrance in the future".

The Brexit happens to the football

It is clear that the exit of the United Kingdom of the European Union will have political consequences so much for companies as for European citizens. However words like the ones of Ceferin do not do more than increasing the uncertainty of a lot of people of on foot. 

And it is that according to the valid rule, before producing the vote, the British government already reserved the right to deny the entrance to the country to any citizen of another country that have been condemned by a crime. This whenever it consider likely that can commit other crimes while it was in the United Kingdom.
