ROME – Uefa could shy away from banning teams from Europe on financial grounds to protect the value of its own competitions, Juventus president Andrea Agnelli said on Wednesday.European soccer’s governing body has introduced rules that mean clubs must curb their losses or face exclusion from tournaments like the Champions League as early as 2014-15.Agnelli said the Italian champions, who lost almost €49 million last season, were working towards meeting the Financial Fair Play rules.“I fully agree with the principles but I’d like to see what is going to happen once it is going to be fully operational,” Agnelli told the Leaders in Football conference at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge.“Are you going to ban three teams from participating in the Champions League?,” he added.“Who is going to go to the broadcasters and say “oops, we haven’t got these teams playing”? Is that going to be a correction of the overall values of the TV rights?”
