The recent decision by the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) has significant implications, not only for Dani Olmo and Pau Victor but also for Barcelona’s future.
The ruling will affect the club in the coming months, as both players will remain in their current situation until at least April 7, reports Mundo Deportivo.
This is the deadline for the CSD to make a final decision on their appeal. This period will be crucial for Barcelona, with vital matches in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League all scheduled to take place during these three months.
By the time the CSD must make its decision, up to 30 rounds of La Liga will have been played.
Barcelona will likely be in a critical position within the league, fighting for the title or securing Champions League qualification. In the Copa del Rey, the team could be preparing for a final appearance.
The second leg of the semi-finals is set for April 2, just five days before the CSD’s deadline. Should Barcelona progress, the final will take place on April 26 at the Estadio de la Cartuja, making the timing of this decision all the more significant.

In the Champions League, Barcelona could be in the quarter-finals by this point. The round of 16 will be played in early March, with the first leg scheduled for March 4/5 and the return leg on March 11/12.
If Barcelona make it through, the first leg of the quarter-finals will take place on April 8, one day after the CSD’s deadline. This means the ruling could directly influence Barcelona’s performance in Europe’s most prestigious competition.
Furthermore, Olmo plays a crucial role for Spain, and his involvement in the upcoming Nations League quarter-finals will also be impacted.
The first leg of the Nations League quarter-finals is set for March 20, with the second leg three days later.
The CSD’s decision will determine whether Olmo and Victor can fully focus on their respective commitments or whether they will face restrictions during this critical period.
Ultimately, the CSD’s decision will have far-reaching effects, not just for these two players but also for Barcelona’s chances in their pursuit of success across multiple competitions.
The next few months are key, and the club, players, and fans will be eagerly awaiting the final ruling.
