"Real Madrid welcomes the decision by the regional court of Madrid to dismiss the appeals lodged by Uefa, the RFEF and La Liga, confirming that Uefa, in the matter of the Super League, seriously infringed EU competition rules in line with the CJEU ruling, abusing its dominant position, the statement read. This ruling paves the way for the club to claim substantial damages."
"The regional court of Madrid dismissed 21 claims raised by Uefa, La Liga and the Spanish football federation, upholding a decision handed down by the city's commercial court in May 2024. Back then Uefa and Fifa were judged to have practised anticompetitive behaviour and abused a dominant position by blocking the breakaway league's formation. It followed a ruling in December 2023 by the European court of justice (CJEU), which said Uefa's previous regulations on allowing the creation of new club competition had violated EU law."
Regional court of Madrid dismissed 21 claims raised by Uefa, La Liga and the Spanish federation, upholding a commercial court decision from May 2024. The commercial court had found Uefa and Fifa practised anticompetitive behaviour and abused a dominant position by blocking formation of the Super League. This followed a December 2023 CJEU ruling that Uefa regulations on allowing new club competitions violated EU law. Real Madrid, one of the 12 clubs that attempted to break away in 2021, announced plans to claim substantial damages and pursue a multimillion-pound lawsuit. A22 also confirmed talks with Uefa reached deadlock and will seek redress.
