Clubs still supporting the European Super League have been dealt a major blow after an advisor to Europe’s top court said that Fifa and Uefa’s power to block teams from joining breakaway leagues is compatible with EU competition law.
In a significant moment for the future of European football, Advocate General Athanasios Rantos told the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that he backed Uefa over their opposition to the Super League, after Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus brought forward a case accusing the governing body of running a “monopoly” over the sport.
