    UEFA 'forgives' the nine clubs that leave the Superliga

  • Story.

    The chain of events that caused the disintegration of the Super League

The

Real Madrid

, the

Barcelona

and

Juventus

issued Saturday a statement denouncing "pressure" and "threats" from UEFA for the creation of the Super League. In the text, they recall that

the courts have already ruled

on "any action that may penalize the founding clubs" and ask "to debate, with due respect, without entirely intolerable pressure."

The three founding clubs of the Superliga thus responded to the statement issued by UEFA on Friday in which the highest European football body announced an agreement with the nine clubs that had withdrawn from the Superliga, which it admitted back into its bosom in exchange of a fine of 15 million euros, among other penalties. The three teams that are still in absentia denounce, in the first point of their text, "pressure, threats and offenses" to abandon the project.

They describe what happened as

"unacceptable in a state of law"

and recall that "the Courts have already ruled on the Super League project, ordering FIFA and UEFA, categorically, to refrain while the judicial procedure is being processed, to carry out any action that could penalize the founding clubs ". They understand, in this way, that "the appearance of good law of said initiative" is recognized.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus assure in a second point that the Super League was designed by twelve clubs (

these three plus Atlético de Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Milan

) "with the aim of providing solutions to the unsustainable situation "that the world of football is going through, as a result of the" deep concern at the current socio-economic situation "and understanding as" essential to undertake structural reforms aimed at guaranteeing the sustainability "of the beautiful game.

Willingness to dialogue

Despite the fact that since

April 18

, the twelve founding clubs announced the creation of the Super League and their "desire to establish a communication channel with UEFA and FIFA, with a constructive spirit and collaboration between the parties" and recall that the new competition

"would only take place if it was recognized by UEFA or FIFA

or if, by virtue of the applicable legal system, it was recognized as a competition compatible for all purposes with the continuity of the founding clubs in their respective national competitions," they reveal that the The response of the agencies has been "to refuse to establish any adequate communication channel."

They defend in their statement the objective of creating the Super League "

to provide financial stability to the entire European football family

", the commitment "to pay annual solidarity payments that multiply those offered by UEFA", as well as "the obligation to reinforce the rules of financial sustainability by creating a clear, transparent and effective control system verified by experts ".

So the twelve clubs that shaped the competition say they understood it

"as a unique opportunity to offer fans around the world the best

possible

show

and increase global interest in the sport, which faces new generational trends. that threaten their future. "

In the last sections of the statement, the three founding clubs that have not announced their departure from the Super League, acknowledge that they are "fully aware of the diversity of reactions" caused by the announcement and "

the need to reflect

" on it, therefore that they are open to "reconsidering the proposed approach as necessary." However, they think it would be "grossly irresponsible" to abandon their "mission to provide effective and sustainable solutions and answers to the issues that threaten football."

They "deeply" regret the situation of the nine clubs that announced their departure from the Super League, "

immersed in an incoherent - and inconsistent - position after assuming certain commitments with UEFA yesterday

."

And they reiterate to FIFA, UEFA and all football players, their "commitment and firm will to discuss, with due respect, without completely intolerable pressure and with respect for the rule of law, the most appropriate solutions for the sustainability of the entire soccer family ".
