Uefa have rejected Real’s request to register both Lassana Diarra and Klaas Jan Huntelaar to play in the Champions League.
The regulations state that only one player who has already played in Europe this season can be registered, but the La Liga champions appealed claiming they had a ‘different interpretation’ of the rule, and Uefa’s disciplinary committee have now rejected their request.
Dutch striker Huntelaar and Diarra played in the Uefa Cup for Ajax and Portsmouth respectively prior to moving to Madrid on January 1.
Part of a Uefa statement read: “The European body confirms that this was rejected in accordance with article 17.8 in the competition regulations which states that only one player who has played Uefa club competition matches for another competing club in the current season may exceptionally be registered. Any appeal to this decision will be heard next week.”
Real are likely to take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Just realised, probably wrong forum too. Sorry.

The rules are clear and there for all to see.
