How much? 💥Ass: Real Madrid and the European Super League are preparing to seek compensation from UEFA, totaling 4.5 billion euros

The Madrid Court issued a ruling yesterday, rejecting UEFA's appeal and confirming that UEFA abused its market dominance in the European Super League incident.

AS reported that Real Madrid and the European Super League are preparing to launch sky-high claims against UEFA. According to informed sources consulted by AS, the total amount of claims is as high as 4.5 billion euros (approximately RMB 37.1 billion)!

This staggering figure covers actual losses, expected loss of profits and damage to goodwill. It is reported that the legal teams of Real Madrid and European Super League promotion company A22 are intensively preparing for this lawsuit.

Real Madrid and A22 jointly determined that UEFA has never been sincere in reaching an agreement, and its strategy has always been to obstruct the implementation of the European Super League through delaying tactics. Faced with this situation, claiming damages has become the best option at this stage, which is also in line with the EU's precedent principles in dealing with other monopoly disputes.

Aspen also gave an example: A few months ago, the European Court of Justice upheld the European Commission’s historic fine of 2.424 billion euros against Google, finding that it hindered competition through its behavior on search engines. This lawsuit, which lasted for more than six years, has finally reached a just verdict. This precedent is likely to provide important legal basis for Real Madrid and the A22 legal team.

It is worth pointing out that the European Super League was jointly announced by many giants in April 2021, but many teams withdrew in a short period of time, and currently only Real Madrid and Barcelona remain. In October this year, Barcelona officially returned to the European Club Association. This move was considered to mean that Barcelona no longer believed in the European Super League.
