Barcelona have been fined 602 euros (£503) following a complaint by Atletico Madrid over contact the club made with striker Julian Alvarez.

Atletico accused La Liga rivals Barcelona of approaching Argentina international Alvarez without first notifying them in writing.

The 26-year-old remained at Atletico and has a contract which runs until June 2030.
