The ‘Dirty Dozen’ clubs will definitely face a sanction for trying to set up a breakaway European Super League, according to UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, with even a ban from next’s season’s Champions League still possible.
However, Ceferin believes that England’s Big Six — Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United — should be treated more leniently because they were the first group to change their minds.
The harshest punishments will be for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, who are still clinging on to the idea that the Super League might be revived.
