    They should be fined for even attempting leaving as should all the other clubs

    The Super League is suspended while restructuring takes place and then it will be completed.

    Dead on arrival this idea. Thank goodness the applied pressure forced the clubs to withdraw.

    So many more would suffer...current system is better as a whole...

    Outrage from fans was intense...even politicians getting involved

    I do think they will try this again in the future...

    Here we go again boys

    The European Court of Justice has ruled that FIFA and UEFA contravened EU law in blocking the formation of the European Super League in 2021, saying the governing bodies are "abusing a dominant position."
    A case was brought against FIFA and UEFA by A22, the backers of the ESL, who claimed the governing bodies had broken competition law to block the prospective league.

    The court has now delivered its verdict in favour of the claimant and against FIFA and UEFA.

    im in for the super league as a casual football fan…it will just mean champions league in division 1…

    def sucks for small clubs but at least they get their chance in division 3…

    always down to watch the big clubs going at each other

    hargydon No investigation, no right to speak

    But isn’t the normal League 1 competition already terrible? What’s the point in a team like Man City playing Burnley? Where’s the balance when the value of each club is vastly different? I don’t understand why everyone was up in arms about this Super League when football has been destroyed by capital since before we were all born…

    Hopefully it gives clubs like Celtic & Rangers who have no competition in their leagues a chance to compete in a more balanced league setup & in turn attract more investors & improve the experience for both players & fans.

    but this most definetly will destroy UEFA's competition as if these 2 play during the same week, teams probably gonna send their 14s 15 year old to play the champions league and is gonna die down

    Rangers had the chance to compete in the Champions League and ended up being the worst team in the history of the competition, officially lmao

    Also they lost the Europa League final against 11h place from Bundesliga 2x lmao

    100% unfortunately you’re right…I feel like 16 best teams would be the new champions league...eliminating old champions league format…

    i do enjoy champions league…main football I watch besides big international tornies

    either way…old format…new format I’m watching the best teams in Europe…don’t care about domestic

    saw this competition way back when the name of it CHAMPIONS League was actually a champions competition and only 1st place from all the countries played in it, now I'm watching 4th places from their leagues having a chance to win a CHAMPIONS trophy, pathetic. Nowadays I rarely watch any games outside my team's and our domestic league.

    Either way lol super league or champions league…I’ll watch whatever format they want…

    @aleeex1923 do you think Saudi league will be best league in 5-10years? I think they may buy best players…have most $$$ and we will all watch that league….

    heard they wanted Saudi teams in champions league….considering saudis already own biggest European teams

    they do show some games here in Romania, we have like 2 coaches in the league, a goalkeeper thats captain, our best Romanian player plays there, the former goalscorer from my team as well and they really place nice football is not that bad tbh. Could be, if they keep it up and if they'll get the World Cup they gonna expand even more, but still outside of their league they struggle. You saw Benzema's, Kante's and Fabinho's team Al Ittihad just lost 3-1 against Egyptian champions Al Ahly in the world cup of clubs querter finals like a few days ago.
