Both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid have welcomed the ruling by the European Court of Justice that determined UEFA and FIFA were wrong to ban clubs from participating in breakaway competitions, including the proposed European Super League.
Barcelona expressed their satisfaction with the court's decision, stating that it paves the way for a new elite-level football competition in Europe. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez also welcomed the decision, emphasizing that European club football should not be a monopoly.
However, the president of the Spanish Football League (La Liga), Javier Tebas, pointed out that while the ruling prevents FIFA and UEFA from banning clubs from joining other competitions, it does not necessarily approve specific projects like the Super League.
This legal development follows the controversy surrounding the proposed European Super League, which faced strong opposition from football governing bodies, fans, and other clubs. The court's decision may open the door for discussions on the future direction of European football competitions.
