UEFA nullifies proceedings against Super League rebels

UEFA drops proceedings against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus to comply with a ruling from a Madrid court.

European football’s governing body UEFA has dropped disciplinary action against three breakaway Super League clubs after a Madrid court ruled against sanctions.

A Spanish court injunction in June led to UEFA initially pausing the disciplinary case against the clubs – Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus – which refused to renounce the project which collapsed in April.

A renewed demand last week from a Madrid judge for UEFA officials to comply with the ruling not to sanction the clubs led to the disciplinary case being officially scrapped on Monday night.
