Latest developments in the Super League.. A joint statement from Real Madrid and the European Union

The chapters of the European Super League case concluded with Real Madrid, the last club adhering to the separatist project, and the European Football Association (UEFA) announcing on Wednesday that they had reached an agreement that would help resolve their legal dispute.
Real Madrid, led by its president Florentino Pires, who tirelessly defended the idea of ​​the “Super League,” along with the project’s promoter, A22 Sports Management, were demanding $4 billion in compensation from UEFA after the project collapsed.
A joint statement published by Real Madrid and UEFA said: “UEFA, the European Club Association (the only independent body representing football clubs in Europe), and Real Madrid FC have reached an agreement for the benefit of European club football.”
The statement added, “This preliminary agreement will also allow for the resolution of legal disputes related to the European Super League, once these principles are implemented and implemented.”
Last Saturday, the Spanish club Barcelona announced its official withdrawal from the European Super League, the project that was supposed to revolutionize European football and which was also publicly supported by its local rival, Real Madrid.
These developments come several months after the decision of the Madrid Court of Appeal, which confirmed that the European Union (UEFA) “abused its power” by trying to prevent the establishment of this alternative competition for the Champions League in 2021.
Barcelona President Joan Laporta said last October that the Catalan club wanted to reconnect what was broken with the European Union (UEFA), moving away from the project launched by 12 clubs in 2021 before it quickly collapsed under the weight of enormous pressure from the fans and institutions.
Under popular and institutional pressure, many clubs that had previously agreed to join the project withdrew, but the Spanish football giants Barcelona and Real Madrid did not do so, and the latter found himself alone in this battle, which he considers “essential” in order to “save European football.”
