MADRID: The European Super League saga drew towards an end as Real Madrid, the last club still involved in the failed breakaway project, and Uefa announced Wednesday they had come to an agreement which will help resolve their legal dispute.
Los Blancos, whose president Florentino Perez has relentlessly championed the idea of a Super League, and promoters A22 Sports Management were seeking US$4 billion in damages from European football governing body Uefa after the project collapsed.
“Uefa, the European Football Clubs (EFC, the sole independent body representing football clubs within Europe) and Real Madrid CF reach an agreement for the good of European club football,” read a statement published by Real Madrid and Uefa.
