A22 Sports, the company created to drive forward a controversial European Super League, has tried to find the positives after a seemingly bad day at the European Court of Justice.
Back in April 2021, Liverpool and 11 other top teams from across the continent announced plans to form a breakaway competition. The scheme was halted within hours after scorn from fans, existing institutions and the wider football family.
But the story is far from over. The European Superleague Company - effectively made up of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus who are still committed to the project - initiated legal proceedings through the Madrid courts over what it saw as a UEFA monopoly on the European game.
