European Super League court case begins despite Liverpool withdrawal

The court case between European football's governing body and the three clubs that remain espoused to launching a European Super League has begun.

Legal representatives from UEFA will face off with those representing the interests of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg from today (Monday, July 11) in a case that is set to last until the end of the year.

The case centres around the battle between UEFA and the European Superleague Company, nominally Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus - with the latter claiming that both UEFA and FIFA have monopolised the organisation of elite football competitions and acted beyond their constitution by shutting down the plans for a new breakaway league, which crashed and burned in April of 2021.
