Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus will pursue their
European Super League dream, after winning in court on Friday.
The three clubs refused to pull out of plans for the
breakaway league in April, after nine clubs withdrew following public outrage.
In a statement on their respective websites, it read: “FC
Barcelona, Juventus, and Real Madrid CF welcome today’s Court’s decision
enforcing, with immediate effect, UEFA’s obligation to unwind the actions taken
against all European Super League founding clubs, including terminating the
disciplinary proceedings against the undersigning three clubs and removing the
penalties and restrictions imposed on the remaining nine founding clubs for
them to avoid UEFA’s disciplinary action.
“The Court backs the request made by the promoters of the
European Super League, dismisses UEFA’s appeal, and confirms its warning to
UEFA that failure to comply with its ruling shall result in fines and potential
criminal liability,” it continued before slamming the governing body that has attempted
to punish the clubs who were involved.
“The case will be assessed by the European Court of Justice
in Luxembourg, which shall review UEFA’s monopolistic position over European
football.”
