The European Court of Justice has ruled that UEFA and FIFA acted against competition law
The European Court of Justice has ruled that UEFA and FIFA acted against competition law by blocking the formation of the European Super League in 2021.
The court said both bodies abused their "dominant position" in football.
Six English clubs were part of the proposed breakaway competition but the plan collapsed within 48 hours due to backlash.
UEFA says it "remains resolute" in its commitment to "uphold the European football pyramid" after being found to act against competition law.
But Barcelona say the ruling paves the way for a "new elite level football competition".
