UEFA 'robustly' defend their stance against the 'so-called' Super League after case is referred to the European Court of Justice following complaint by founding members Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus

UEFA has released a statement that they will 'robustly' defend their position against the European Super League, following a complaint that has been filed against both them and FIFA.

The European Court of Justice announced on Monday it had received a referral from a court in Madrid concerning a claim that both governing bodies had acted unlawfully in trying to shut down the league and threatening to sanction founding clubs Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.

The controversial plans were announced last month and was set to include 12 teams including both Manchester City and United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.
