Real Madrid has announced plans to seek compensation from UEFA after a Spanish court threw out appeals by UEFA, the Spanish league, and the national soccer federation. The appeals were against a prior ruling which found that UEFA violated EU competition laws by obstructing the formation of a breakaway Super League.
The Madrid court's decision follows the Court of Justice of the European Union's 2023 ruling that UEFA and FIFA abused their market dominance. Real Madrid expressed satisfaction with the latest legal proceedings and reiterated its commitment to enhancing global football for fans.
In response, the Spanish league acknowledged the court's decision but emphasized that it did not validate any specific competition format. While the saga surrounding the Super League's initial 2021 design continues, Real Madrid remains adamant about addressing transparency, governance, and fan experience in football.
