European soccer's governing body UEFA
said Wednesday that it has opened disciplinary procedures
against Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona over the failed
attempt to form a European Super League.
While nine of the 12 clubs that tried to form the breakaway
competition, including AC Milan and Inter, have made peace with
UEFA after abandoning the project, Juve, Barcelona and Real
Madrid have said they are still committed to it.
UEFA could ban these three teams from European competition next
season over the rebellion, according to reports.
"In accordance with Article 31(4) of the UEFA Disciplinary
Regulations, UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspectors have today
been appointed to conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding
a potential violation of UEFA's legal framework by Real Madrid
CF, FC Barcelona and Juventus FC in connection with the
so-called 'Super League' project," a statement said..
