UEFA opens disciplinary proceedings against Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus for Super League plot.

While the other nine teams involved in the project have been dealt light punishments, the three holdouts face more severe repercussions.

The majority of teams involved withdrew from the plot days after it was announced in April due to threats from football associations and protests from fans.

European football’s governing body read: “Following an investigation conducted by UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspectors in connection with the so-called ‘Super League’ project, disciplinary proceedings have been opened against Real Madrid CF, FC Barcelona and Juventus FC for a potential violation of UEFA’s legal framework.”
