UEFA’s appeal against a court order that blocked sanctions against Super League trio Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid has been accepted, meaning they’re now free to take action.

Earlier today it was reported that UEFA’s appeal to a Madrid court which imposed an injunction on the European football governing body had been accepted, allowing them to take action against the three remaining clubs involved in the Super League project. The three clubs are still out from the European Clubs Association but haven’t faced any sanctions yet.

The most obvious sanction that UEFA could pursue against Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid is a huge fine, possibly in the region of €100m. This was the figure proposed by UEFA in the Club Commitment Declaration that the nine former Super League clubs signed last year once they broke away from the project, and so could be used as a reference point.

Another possible sanction is a ban from European competition, for one or more years. This would be a fairly extreme response and would not be taken well by the three clubs, but it may be an option that UEFA look to pursue.

A simpler sanction would be a cut in the revenue earnt from European competition and this could be around 5%, as that figure was also floated in the Club Commitment Declaration.

  1. Triple all; +300 million Euro and three years of no Europeans football. Would be fair and benefit all.
