UEFA and FIFA terribly failed to destroy the European Super League after the court’s final judgment. According to the recent verdict, ESL can function normally, as there is nothing wrong with establishing another league with gigantic clubs. Soon after this verdict, a huge relief was sent to Real Madrid and Barcelona and now they are all set to relaunch a new tournament where Messi’s Inter-Miami and Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr might find a place.
The ECJ declared that UEFA and FIFA tried to block ESL unlawfully, and that cannot be continued any further. Additionally, it was confirmed that they misused their elite position in the soccer world. Now, it’s finally time for Real Madrid and Barcelona to celebrate, as they have always stood strong for establishing ESL.
