Now it’s official: following an investigation conducted by the inspectors of the Uefa ethics and discipline commission in relation to the so-called Superlega project, disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus for a potential violation of the UEFA legal framework. . This is what we read in a note from the governing body of world football. Uefa clarifies that “further information will be made available in due course”.
This is the last step of Uefa against the project born in mid-April with the adhesion of 12 teams and vanished within a few hours with the withdrawal of the 6 English teams (Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester Utd and Tottenam), of Inter, Milan and Atletico Madrid. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has threatened Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus with a resounding exclusion from competition for a season or two if they do not withdraw their intentions to create a parallel competition. What is looming is a long legal battle, with the three clubs that could appeal to the Lausanne CAS in case of exclusion from the next Champions League.
