Real Madrid seeking 'substantial damages' from UEFA over European Super League after Madrid court ruling

Real Madrid is seeking "substantial damages" from UEFA after a Spanish court ruled in their favor over the failed European Super League plot. The Provincial Court of Madrid dismissed appeals by UEFA, the Spanish football federation (RFEF), and LaLiga, confirming that UEFA seriously infringed on EU free competition rules.

The ruling comes after Real Madrid was one of 12 clubs who announced themselves as founder members of a new European Super League in April 2021. The club's president, Florentino Perez, was instrumental in planning the project. However, UEFA and FIFA blocked the plans, which quickly fell apart amid fan protests from supporters of England's "Big Six" clubs.

The Court of Justice for the European Union (CJEU) stated that UEFA's rules used to block the competition were contrary to EU law. In 2022, UEFA adopted new authorisation rules it believes comply with EU law.

A Madrid commercial court had initially referred a case involving the Super League to the CJEU, which led to the ruling. Real Madrid claims the club has suffered substantial damages due to UEFA's actions.

UEFA responded by stating that the ruling does not validate or undermine its current authorisation rules. The governing body stated it would carefully review the judgment before deciding on further steps and remains committed to safeguarding European football's unity.

Real Madrid, however, plans to use this ruling as leverage to claim damages from UEFA. According to reports in Spain, Barcelona is planning to pull out of the remaining Super League project, leaving Real Madrid as the only club officially associated with it.
 
😒 I'm so sure that Real Madrid's chances of getting substantial damages are like 0% 🤦‍♂️... wait, what if they actually have a solid case? 🤑 I mean, UEFA did kinda mess up by blocking their plans and stuff... but at the same time, didn't they try to stifle competition in the first place? 🤔 It's all so confusing! 😩 If Real Madrid can prove that UEFA's actions caused them harm, then maybe they should get some damages. But if it just looks like a weak attempt to extort money from UEFA... 🤑 then nope, not buying it 🙅‍♂️.
 
omg u think real madrid got away with something?? like i get it they were trying to create a super league and all but the fact that uefa broke eu law and had to pay damages is kinda messed up 🤔‍♀️ UEFA was so caught up in stopping the super league that they didn't even care about their own rules 🙄 what's going on with barcelona though? are they just gonna ghost the project like that?? or is real madrid just using this ruling to get more revenge against uefa lol
 
😒 I'm low-key surprised by how much Real Madrid is milking this situation. Like, they basically got a slap on the wrist for trying to break away from EU competition rules and now they're suing UEFA for "substantial damages" 🤑. Meanwhile, the fans who protested against the Super League are still waiting for answers about their own rights as supporters 👀. The whole thing just seems like a power struggle between clubs and UEFA. And what's with Barcelona suddenly deciding to bail on the project? 🤔 Did they want to avoid getting dragged into Real Madrid's drama 😂.
 
I gotta say, I'm loving how strong Real Madrid's stance is on this whole European Super League drama 🤑. They're not afraid to take UEFA to court and demand substantial damages, which I think is pretty reasonable considering how much they invested in this project 💸. I mean, can you blame them? UEFA basically shut down their plans without giving them a chance to even compete in the new league 🤷‍♂️.

It's interesting that Barcelona might be pulling out of the Super League project now... does that mean Real Madrid is gonna be the only one left standing? 🤔 Either way, I'm curious to see how this whole thing plays out. Maybe UEFA will review their rules and make some changes to avoid similar situations in the future ⚽️.
 
lol, who knew being a whistleblower for a breakaway league would cost you $$$ 🤑 real madrid thinks they can just waltz into court and demand damages from uefa like it's some kind of fancy schmancy game of football poker 💸. i mean, come on Florentino, didn't you guys learn that trying to strong-arm the entire eu wasn't exactly the brightest idea? 😂

anyway, this ruling is a big deal, and i'm low-key kinda stoked for uefa (just kidding, sorta 😉). it's about time someone put the kibosh on one of those super league dreams. barcelona pulling out of it is pretty funny too - guess they figured it was all just a giant ego trip for real madrid 🤣.
 
🤔 so i think this is a good example of how the law can actually work in favour of the underdog. like real madrid was basically bullied into not doing something they wanted to do (the european super league), and now they're getting compensation for it 🤑 but at the same time, it's kind of ironic that they're using this as leverage against uefa. like isn't that just what led to them wanting to create the super league in the first place? 🤷‍♂️ also, i wonder if barca is being realistic to pull out now, or if they're just trying to save face because of real madrid's claim for damages 😐
 
idk why UEFA would be so stubborn about this lol 🤷‍♂️ like they didn't learn their lesson back in 2021 😂. Real Madrid got burned by trying to pull off that super league and now they're gonna come for UEFA's wallet 💸. I mean, it's not like they had anything to gain from the whole thing anyway... they were just gonna get pwned by fans of the big six 🤣. Anyway, it's nice to see Real Madrid getting some payback but let's see how this all plays out 💪
 
Ugh I was so excited when I heard about the EU's new rules back in 2021... or at least that's how I remember it! 😂 Anyway, this ruling is crazy! I mean, who knew UEFA was going to get called out for breaking EU law? 🤯 Real Madrid getting substantial damages from them? That's sweet revenge, if you ask me! 🍰

I always thought the Big Six clubs were a bit entitled, but now it looks like they might've actually done something wrong. Those fan protests in 2021 were so passionate and needed to happen, though. 👏 I just wish we could see more of that kind of unity among fans instead of just drama and lawsuits.

I wonder if this ruling will really change the course of European football... or if it'll just be another obstacle for the Super League project to overcome? 🤔 Either way, it's been fun watching all these clubs duke it out. Can't wait to see what happens next! 😁
 
OMG 🤯 I'm soooo excited for Real Madrid!!! 👏 They finally got that justice 💪 and now they're gonna get some serious $$$ 💸! I mean, UEFA was being super unreasonable 😒 but now they gotta pay up 🤑. And btw, Barcelona is bailing out of the Super League? 🤷‍♂️ that's awesome news for the rest of us who don't wanna see them ruin football 🏈💥. Real Madrid should be so proud of themselves 👑 and I'm rooting for them all the way 💪🔵
 
lol what a mess! 🤯 i mean, who tries to create a breakaway league and then gets sued for being anti-competitive? real madrid's president florentino perez must've had some serious delusions of grandeur back in 2021 💥 he was so convinced that this super league would be the key to dominance. now they're left looking like a bunch of sore losers 😒 and barca's pulling out too? what a perfect storm of club egos 🤦‍♂️ anyone else surprised by this turn of events?
 
Wow 🤯, I mean... interesting! So Real Madrid is trying to get compensation from UEFA for messing up their European Super League plans? That's a new one. I guess you could say they're trying to get some kind of "penalty" for being too ambitious. And now Barcelona might be pulling out of the project... that's gonna be weird. The whole thing just seems so shady, but at the same time, it's kinda cool to see these powerful clubs going toe-to-toe with each other like this. UEFA is all like "oh no, we're in trouble!" and Real Madrid is all like "ha! We gotcha!" 🤑

idk how fair is it that real madrid gets to claim substantial damages from uefa? didn't they know that breaking EU competition rules would have consequences?! 🤔 i mean, UEFA had a chance to fix their rules and now they're trying to shift the blame on real madrid? 🙄 also why did barca decide to pull out of the project? is it because they don't want to get dragged into real madrid's drama or what? 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm thinking that this whole European Super League thing was a mess 🤯... I mean, can you imagine a world where just 12 clubs get to decide what's best for Europe? Not cool 💔. UEFA got burned trying to block it and now they're getting roasted by Real Madrid 😏. I gotta feel for Barcelona too, they were all in but now they're backing out 🤦‍♂️. It's good that the EU free competition rules are being enforced, but at what cost? Maybe this whole thing was just a power play between UEFA and the "Big Six" clubs... but honestly, I don't know the details 🤷‍♀️. One thing's for sure though - Real Madrid is gonna milk this ruling for all it's worth 💸!
 
I gotta say, I feel kinda bad for UEFA 🤔... I mean, they were just trying to maintain order in European football and all that jazz 💼. But at the same time, you can't blame Real Madrid for fighting back against what they saw as unfair treatment 😒. The fact is, they were one of the ones who came up with this whole Super League thingy 🤯, and then UEFA came along and shut it down 🚫. It's like, if you're gonna start something, you gotta be prepared for the consequences 🔥. I don't think Real Madrid should get off scot-free or anything 💸, but at the same time... I dunno, maybe they were just trying to protect their interests and all that 😐. Anyway, this is some juicy drama right here 🎭!
 
I gotta say, this whole European Super League thing was a bit of a mess 🤦‍♂️. Like, who thought it was a good idea for 12 top clubs to just break away from their own league and create a new one? And UEFA got in the way, which is understandable, but now Real Madrid's all like "Hey, we're gonna get some damages" 💸. I don't know, man, seems like they're just trying to stir up some trouble 🤔. The EU laws are there for a reason, you feel? Anyway, it's gonna be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out...
 
the whole european super league thing was a mess to begin with 🤔 i dont think its fair that real madrid is seeking damages from uefa tho. if they were so confident in their plan why didnt they just go through with it? the fans and other clubs spoke out against it for a reason 🙏 now real madrid wants to take advantage of a court ruling to get paid...its a bit sus if u ask me. but at the same time, its good that uefa is being transparent about their rules and trying to make them comply with eu law 💯
 
🤑 Real Madrid's going for broke here 🤝, thinking they can milk UEFA dry over this one... substantial damages, huh? Like that's gonna happen 😂. UEFA just played the long game and waited out the chaos. Meanwhile, Barcelona's already backpedaling on their involvement in the Super League. Guess some clubs are more interested in staying relevant than being all-in 🤯. The real question is: what's Real Madrid planning to do with this cash? 💸
 
omg i cant believe real madrid got that ruling on uefa they really did have some shady stuff goin down with the european super league back in 2021 🤯 i mean who wants a closed league with big six teams doin all the work and gettin paid more? it just doesnt seem fair to me. real madrid is lookin at claimin damages from uefa which could be huge for them i hope they use that money to invest in the fans and not just line their own pockets 💸 meanwhile barcelona might pull out of the super league project which would leave real madrid as the only club still on board 🤔 i wonder how this whole thing is gonna play out...
