Attempts to launch a European Super League last year were met with widespread protests
(Picture: PA)Attempts to launch a European Super League have been dealt a major blow after a key legal opinion from the European Court of Justice backed UEFA and FIFA’s right to block new competitions.
Those behind the ESL, which tried to launch in April 2021, claimed UEFA and FIFA were abusing a dominant position under EU competition law by first blocking the league in April 2021 and then seeking to sanction the clubs involved.
