European soccer's governing body UEFA
has said that it has dropped disciplinary procedures against
Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona over the failed attempt to
form a European Super League.
While nine of the 12 clubs that tried to form the breakaway
competition, including AC Milan and Inter, had made peace with
UEFA after abandoning the project, Juve, Barcelona and Real
Madrid said they were still committed to it.
"UEFA takes note of the letter sent today by the independent
UEFA Appeals Body in which the disciplinary proceedings that had
been opened against FC Barcelona, Juventus FC and Real Madrid CF
for a potential violation of UEFA's legal framework in
connection with the so-called 'Super League' project have been
declared null and void, without any prejudice, as if the
proceedings had never been opened," UEFA said in a statement.
The move comes after a Madrid court said UEFA should not seek to
punish Juve, Real and Barca over the attempted breakaway.
