PARIS -- UEFA President Michel Platini says clubs won't be excluded from next season's Champions League for breaking "Financial Fair Play" rules.
Platini tells French daily Le Parisien "there will be some tough things ... but if you're expecting blood and tears, you'll be disappointed."
A UEFA panel is negotiating with clubs which breached rules designed to curb huge investments by owners and excessive spending on transfers and wages since 2011.
Platini is "not sure" if Qatar-owned Paris Saint-Germain's "innovative" sponsorship deal with Qatar Tourism Authority played by the rules.
He says UEFA will announce some sanctions in early-May, and more serious cases are judged in June.
Champions League expulsion is the toughest sanction UEFA reserves. First and lesser offenders likely face fines and limits on registering players for UEFA competitions.
