La Liga giants FC Barcelona have received a huge boost, as Superior Sports Council (CSD) have ruled in favour of the appeal made by the club to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.
The green light from the Spanish government's sporting authority have boosted FC Barcelona's 'quadruple' ambitions, as the club eye Copa Del Ray, La Liga, and UEFA Champions League glory, after winning the Spanish Super Cup earlier this year.
"This Thursday, the Superior Sports Council (CSD) has upheld the appeal submitted on January 7 by footballers Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, as well as FC Barcelona, annulling the agreement made by the Monitoring Commission of the RFEF-LaLiga Coordination Agreement. The CSD explains in its statement that the Monitoring Commission lacked the authority to deny the prior visa and the federation licence, rendering its initial decision null and void," read the official club statement of FC Barcelona.
"Therefore, both Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor retain their valid licences and will be able to continue playing matches with the team. It should be noted that since January 8, the CSD has granted an urgent precautionary measure that has allowed both players to continue their professional careers normally," it added.
The news comes in merely inside 24 hours off FC Barcelona's dramatic 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the 2nd leg of the semi-final fixture of the Copa Del Ray, as Ferran Torres' cleve finish in the first-half was enough to hand the side a 5-4 win on aggregate.
With Dani Olmo's situation now getting much-needed relief, the Blaugrana can look ahead to their UEFA Champions League fixture against Borussia Dortmund.
Here's What CSD's Ruling Stated
"It has been clearly and indisputably established throughout this process, after considering the parties' arguments, that the Monitoring Commission was not competent to decide on the prior visa, as well as the licence requested by FC Barcelona."
