• UEFA Open sanctioning proceedings against Real Madrid, Barça and Juventus for the Superliga

Real Madrid CF, Juventus de Turin and FC Barcelona

have issued a joint statement this Wednesday showing their "most absolute rejection" of the file opened by UEFA the day before, as a result of their intention to participate in the

Superliga

, and have stressed that "they will not yield to any type of coercion or intolerable pressure."

The clubs that have been loyal to the new European project underlined the "insistent coercion that UEFA has been maintaining towards three of the greatest institutions in the history of football."

"This attitude is alarming in

flagrant breach of the decision of the courts of justice

, which have already made a clear statement warning UEFA to refrain from taking any action against the founding clubs of the Super League while the judicial procedure is being processed," they say. .

This reaction occurs a day after the decision of the highest European body, which

announced possible fines for meringues, culés and 'bianconeros' of up to 100 million euros

.

According to UEFA, the three entities have "exceeded the legal framework".

In this way, Juve, Barça and Real Madrid consider that "the opening of a disciplinary file by UEFA is completely incomprehensible, and

directly undermines the rule of law that we citizens of the European Union have democratically built

."

"Furthermore, it constitutes a lack of respect for the authority of the courts of justice themselves," they point out.

"From the outset, the Super League

has been promoted with the aim of improving the situation of European football, always in permanent dialogue with UEFA

and with the aim of continuing to increase interest in this sport and offer the fans the best possible spectacle", remember in the statement.

"All this, within a

framework of sustainability and solidarity

, especially in the economic situation of maximum risk such as that experienced by most European clubs (...)

However, instead of studying how to modernize football in dialogue open, UEFA wants us to withdraw the legal proceedings

that, as it cannot be otherwise, question its monopoly of European football ", they assure.

"Barça, Juve and Madrid, centenary clubs, will not yield to any type of coercion or intolerable pressure and continue to show their firm will to debate, from dialogue and respect, the urgent solutions that the world of football demands today.

Either we modernize football, or we will witness its inevitable ruin,

"they say.
