Anceplott rejoices in the court's decision on European Superleague

The ECJ said Thursday that FIFA and UEFA cannot sanction clubs and players participating in shifts outside their rules, so they are “abuse a dominant position”.

This does not necessarily mean that the Superleague will be created immediately, but it certainly gives more competencies to organisers.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are still officially involved in the race, and the Merengging coach, Anceplotti, expressed satisfaction with the ECJ's decision.

“was an important decision for all clubs,” he said at a press conference Thursday, following a 1-0 victory over Alaves.

“Some are not convinced, but I think this will be positive for all that there will be no monopoly and the match list can be improved. Time will tell if it's positive, I think it's going to be positive for all of”, the Italian coach stressed.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are certainly among the clubs that strongly support the creation of a new European tour, but they have not received much support from other European teams.

Rome and Interi are among the Seria A clubs opposing the project, but critics also include Manchester United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
