On the horizon, at least for the moment, we do not see the non-participation of Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2021/2022 edition of the Champions League. UEFA has in fact decided to stop the proceedings opened against the three clubs for the Superlega affair. “Following the opening of disciplinary proceedings against FC Barcelona, Juventus Fc and Real Madrid Cf”, states the decision of the European football federation, “for a potential violation of the UEFA legal framework in relation to the so-called” Super League “project, the Uefa appeal body has decided to suspend the proceedings until further notice ».
The proceeding in question was opened on 25 May, following the investigation conducted by the Uefa Ethic and Disciplinary Inspectors. It is not known what will be the development of the story, but at this point it seems difficult to hypothesize the disqualification. The continental football federation forgave nine of the 12 clubs that had started the project, in exchange for their repentance (plus some financial sanctions). Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Milan, Inter and Atletico Madrid have agreed to pay a total of 15 million euros and give up 5% of their European income for one season. These nine teams, quickly dissociated from the private “by invitation” competition launched the night between 18 and 19 April and wrecked within 48 hours, “recognized and accepted that the Super League project was a mistake”, explained UEFA. .
