Echoes of the European Soccer Super League continue to take their toll on UEFA. Hence, the governing body of this sport in the “old continent” has appointed a group of “ethics and discipline inspectors to” investigate “everything that happened and check if it is possible to sanction Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus”, according to the brand newspaper.
The statement published by UEFA states that “in accordance with article 31 (4) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, UEFA’s ethics and discipline inspectors have been appointed today to carry out a disciplinary investigation into a possible violation of the framework. UEFA law by Real Madrid CF, FC Barcelona and Juventus FC in relation to the project called “Superliga” ».
Aleksander Ceferin, president of the European institution, expressed his determination to punish those who are still in the Super League: “There is a clear difference between the English clubs and the other six. They retired first, they admitted they made a mistake. You have to have some greatness to say: I was wrong. For me there are three groups of these 12: the English, who came out first, then the other three (Atlético de Madrid, Milan and Inter) and then those who believe that the Earth is flat and think that the Super League still exists. And there is a big difference between them. But everyone will be responsible. In what way, we will see.
Faced with pressure exerted by players and fans, the six English clubs (Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea) and Atlético de Madrid, Milan AC and Inter Milan, withdrew from the project.
UEFA forgave them because “they had submitted a club Declaration of Commitment expressing their commitment to UEFA club competitions and national club competitions,” Marca reported. However, he assured that they will pay a financial penalty.
With this new investigation process, the fence on the clubs that still remain in the Super League is closed. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus published a letter in which they claimed to have suffered “pressure, threats and offenses” to abandon the Superliga project.
