News Summary:

On April 18, 2026, UEFA's Control Ethics and Disciplinary Body issued a formal written warning to Arsenal and manager Mikel Arteta for a late kick-off offence during their Champions League quarter-final tie against Sporting CP, with the club avoiding a fine. This development occurred as fans were urged on April 17 to remain vigilant against a potential "stealth" Super League, exactly five years after 12 clubs announced the formation of a controversial breakaway competition. Earlier, on April 16, Real Madrid received a €20,000 fine from UEFA for a delayed start to their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabéu. Also on April 16, FC Barcelona filed another complaint with UEFA regarding what they termed "controversial refereeing" in their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid, specifically citing referee Istvan Kovacs' decision not to award a penalty for a blatant handball by Marc Pubill in the first leg. Separately on April 16, the Appeals Body convened to review five appeals from Bala Town, Caerau Ely, Carmarthen Town, Colwyn Bay, and Holywell Town concerning UEFA and FAW Men’s Tier 1 applications, following initial First Instance Body decisions on April 8.
