ROME (AFP) – Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus yesterday defended the aborted Super League project in the face of âthreatsâ from UEFA.
The three clubs are the only ones from the original 12 yet to renounce the proposed competition that would guarantee its founding members involvement every season, instead of having to qualify.
The nine clubs who have dropped out – Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan – were on Friday given a financial penalty by UEFA for their involvement.
UEFA also said it would take âappropriate actionâ against the three clubs who still support the Super League project.
