A new injunction by
the Spanish commercial court threatens to further nullify UEFA’s attempts to punish the
Super League clubs. Comments by Andrea Agnelli suggest that negotiations with
UEFA are on the horizon.
The court ruled that sanctions against Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid must be dropped, along with any applying to Premier League clubs: https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/spanish-court-rules-against-uefa-case-over-european-super-league-2021-07-01/
Even though it seems
like UEFA will need to lower their tough penalties on the founding clubs of the
European Super League, experts have differing opinions over whether the new
injunction, in reality, forces UEFA to do anything.
Andrea Agnelli seems
convinced that the founding European Super League clubs have nothing to fear in
terms of sanctions from UEFA – but the upcoming French presidency of the
Council of the European Union might be a joker in the pack for UEFA.
One legal expert
argues that the steps taken by UEFA against the European Super League clubs are
too harsh.
The independent
antitrust commentator Florian Mueller has explained why the €100 million fine
does not have legal support using a European Union case law.
But UEFA have much better arguments (than The Skating Union who were forced to ease their harsh sanction in a similar case),” says another expert.
One thing is certain: there will be many more battles in court to come.
