The 3 ‘founding fathers’ of the Super League Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus have turned against UEFA in a joint statement. The European association announced on Tuesday that it would open a criminal investigation against the 3 clubs that say they will continue to fight for a European Superliga.
“What UEFA is doing here demonstrates once again that no one should turn against the association’s monopoly in football. We want to make it clear that we will never give in to any coercion or pressure. UEFA does not understand that we need to modernize football. otherwise football will go under “, says the statement posted on Real Madrid’s website. “Instead of working together in an open dialogue to think about how we can do better, they are doing a smear and trying to stop us from continuing with the Super League.”
