Amid their decision to stay on the Super League, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona just got the latest threat from UEFA on Friday.
The clock is ticking for Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Juventus as far as UEFA is concerned. Chairman Aleksander Cefering keeps pushing his threats forward against the three clubs that remain in the created tournament. He refuses to sit down and negotiate new terms of a competition that suits all parties in European football. Both sides have ignored what the players, the managers, and the supporters think.
All they want is for their own format to move forward and the war is upon everybody. Ceferin keeps making the rounds to remind these three clubs that UEFA will sanction them if they don’t change their tune. As long as this Super League idea remains active, no club that is part of if will be safe. However, there is a legal aspect to all of this that UEFA hasn’t considered.
Ceferin’s threat and the real landscape.
Florentino Perez planned this two and three steps ahead of everybody else. When we saw him saying no club could get out of the Super League, he meant it by slapping major sanctions to those who tried. The same goes for UEFA and their threats. Legally, they can’t really punish any club because they haven’t broken any written rules. But Ceferin doesn’t care as he told AP: “Clubs will have to decide if they are Super League clubs or if they are a European club. If they keep saying that they are a Super League club, then they will not play in the Champions League.
“We still are waiting for legal expertise and then we will say, but everybody faces consequences for their decisions and they know that. For me, it’s a very different situation between the clubs that admitted their mistake and said, ‘We will leave the project.’ The others mainly know I would say that this project is dead, but they don’t want to believe it, probably.”
