Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona have met with a major setback in their attempt to beat UEFA on the pitch and create the European Super League.
They are the three clubs that continue to support the idea after the other nine teams withdrew their backing and returned to UEFA following fan backlash at its initial launch.
The protagonists had taken UEFA to court in the hope of securing a key victory, but it has been revealed that the Advocate General of the European Court of Justice has declared that they could be penalized for attempting to create a new competition while they are still competing. in UEFA. .

While not final, the report adds that the European Court of Justice will most likely follow the ruling, which will deal a huge blow to the clubs involved.
Juve FC says
This will be a huge disappointment for Juve and other Super League supporters, and is likely to force them to drop the idea for now.
This is because they simply won’t survive if UEFA sanctions them by expelling them from their competition, which is one of their main sources of income.
But we hope that they will appeal the verdict when it is finally handed down if it does not favor them.
