BARCA, REAL AND JUVE GET SUPER LEAGUE BOOST
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus will renew their European Super League plans after a court threw out disciplinary action against the 12 founding clubs.
A Madrid court decided Uefa must scrap proceedings – until the European Court of Justice makes a ruling.
Nine clubs were penalised – Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan.
Uefa fined them each about £7m and five per cent of their prize money.
The Super League plans collapsed within days after a huge outcry from fans, other clubs, politicians and football bodies.
Now, though, the nine clubs have had their penalties removed – at least for now.
And action against the ESL’s remaining supporters – Barca, Juve and Madrid – must also be halted.
