Super League battles in court: only retreat, then object

UEFA will not initially pursue the case against the Super League clubs on - the legal success of the association, there could be at the end yet.

When mock battle with the renegade, the European Football Union (UEFA) has retreated - the legal victory over the separatists of the Super League but is targeting the association to continue. Already on Tuesday, UEFA has brought her lawyer s army in position and struck out a counter-attack.

UEFA s recent actions, including calling and call for a judge-removal makes it clear that the association is targeting still massive penalties for rebels. Therefore, it must be seen as a purely tactical maneuver, UEFA that once the judicial threat from Spain bows and initially not against Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus is going on.

Finally, the UEFA has far higher goals. The association expects a landmark ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to the antitrust case.

to close are lengthy legal disputes with judges from Madrid, the Real boss Florentino Perez, a general decision would possibly delay - what UEFA is not interested.

Super League: Judge put UEFA ultimatum

Therefore, the association builds that Real, Barca and Juve have won only a Pyrrhic victory thanks to Manuel Ruiz de Lara. The judge of the Madrid Chamber of Commerce had asked UEFA last week an ultimatum. Should the Association continue to threaten sanctions against three clubs, charges against UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin could be raised.

Then UEFA has now responded. The exclusion of three clubs from the Champions League for the time being off the table - even though they continue to hold on to the Super League project. Sanctions against the other nine founding members who had taken care of by their withdrawal for the rapid failure of the plans in April after less than two days, it should not be.

The continuation of the process was not in their own interests, it said on the part of UEFA. The association was but at the same time no doubt that he wants to exploit all legal means further: UEFA remains confident and will continue to defend its position in all relevant jurisdictions.

Judge de Lara: UEFA sees significant irregularities

In order to give rise overlooking the ECJ decision no doubt as to their attitude that UEFA made it known on Tuesday that it does not recognize the jurisdiction of the Madrid court. They also demanded the dismissal of the judge because of significant irregularities . Moreover, UEFA will call the next instance and insert formal appeal .

But all these are only the first steps. Because the real UEFA plan provides according to the SZ, take the case of an ECJ ruling in favor of the Association quickly again the case against Real, Barca and Juve and lock the trio for years.

This fits the suggestion Ceferins. UEFA boss had recently hinted that he is not finished with the separatists. These guys have been trying to kill football, said the Slovenian towards the club bosses.

Thus Ceferin meant, among other things his archenemy and Juve boss Andrea Agnelli, who indefatigably stirs the drum for the Super League.
