ALABAMA - The European Union's Court of Justice ruled on Thursday against FIFA and UEFA, two of the most important governing bodies in international soccer, regarding their blockade of the European Super League, a project led by Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona and which put European competitions in jeopardy.
On April 18, 2021, twelve of the most important soccer clubs in Europe intended to break away from UEFA's control and launch their own competition. After the huge public backlash, most of the founding clubs ditched the idea to do "what was right" for the sport.
