Time for punishment.

UEFA announced on Friday a whole series of sanctions, in particular financial, against nine of the twelve clubs at the origin of the aborted Super League project, after an agreement with the latter who "apologize" and recognize " a mistake ".

These nine teams, the quickest to dissociate themselves from the dissident private competition project of the Champions League, will notably have to give up 5% of the income they were supposed to obtain during European competitions for a season.

What about Barça, Juve and Real?

The case of the three other clubs (Juventus Turin, Real Madrid, Barcelona), which "refuse to give up" to the Super League and risk heavier sanctions, will soon be studied by the disciplinary bodies of UEFA, announced the European confederation. .

"By accepting their commitments and their willingness to repair the disturbance they have caused, UEFA wants to put this chapter behind it and move forward in a positive spirit," said chairman Aleksander Ceferin in a statement, insisting that "the same cannot be said for the (three) clubs which remain involved in the so-called Super League", cases which "UEFA will handle accordingly".

The nine clubs that have given up on the project - Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan - have accepted a whole series of "reinstatement measures".

A return to the European Association of Clubs

In addition to each forfeiting 5% of their UEFA competition income for a season, they will together donate a total of 15 million euros turned into donations to "local communities" of European football, pledge to participate in UEFA competitions for which they qualify and also undertake to pay a fine of 100 million euros if they seek to one day participate in an "unauthorized" competition.

They will also join the European Association of Clubs (ECA), which they had left at the time of their sling.

These are the first official sanctions against secessionist clubs, which ignited European football on April 19 by launching their project for a quasi-closed League, before changing their minds two days later for most of them, facing the international outcry and the rebellion of supporters.
