FC Barcelona continues in the Spanish cup (Copa de Rey, after the Spanish Football federation (RFEF) has rejected the appeal.
the RFEF announced on Friday that they have chosen to reject a complaint from the club Levante, because Levante has exceeded a time limit to appeal in 48 hours.
the Matter is that Barcelona used the player Juan Brandáriz, as Barcelona and Levante played the first of two matches in the cup 10. January.
The battle is won Levante 2-1, while Barcelona won returmødet Thursday with 3-0 and thus advanced in the tournament with a 4-2 victory.
Levante believed that Barcelona should be punished for breaking the rules by using Brandáriz, who had been quarantined at Barcelona reservehold.
We therefore wanted to clarify whether quarantine also applied to the first-team squad in the cup, but so far when the Levante is not the case.
Barcelona did not mean to have done something wrong, and the club has previously highlighted that Brandáriz out of the quarantine to themselves in the third row.
Barcelona pointed out before that the RFEF went into the case that Levante have not submitted a claim within 48 hours.
Thus avoiding Barcelona to suffer the same fate as was given to Real Madrid in december of 2015, as hovedstadsklubben was kicked out of the Copa del Rey for a similar case.
