Real, Barca and Juventus denounce Uefa’s pressure

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, the three clubs still involved in the proposed Super League, denounced on Saturday the “intolerable” pressure put on them by Uefa to drop the project. “The founding clubs have suffered, and continue to suffer, unacceptable third-party pressures, threats, and offenses to abandon the project,” Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus said in a joint statement. “This is intolerable under the rule of law and Tribunals have already ruled in favour of the Super League proposal, ordering Fifa and Uefa to, either directly or through their affiliated bodies, refrain from taking any action which may hinder this initiative in any way while court proceedings are pending.” —
