Real Madrid are reportedly suing UEFA for “substantial damages” following a Spanish court’s decision to rule in their favour regarding the failed European Super League scheme.
According to the Spanish club, UEFA, La Liga, and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) had all had their appeals denied by the Provincial Court of Madrid.
The court also confirmed that UEFA had “seriously infringed the European Union’s free competition rules in line with the CJEU ruling by abusing its dominant position”.

Real Madrid Statement
Madrid said in a statement issued on Wednesday: “Real Madrid CF is delighted that the Madrid Provincial Court has dismissed the appeals lodged by UEFA, the RFEF and La Liga, confirming that UEFA, in the Superliga matter, seriously infringed the European Union’s free competition rules in line with the CJEU ruling by abusing its dominant position.
“This ruling opens the way to claim the substantial damages suffered by the club.
“Furthermore, Real Madrid reports that throughout 2025 it has held numerous discussions with UEFA to seek solutions, without reaching any compromise on more transparent governance, financial sustainability, protection of players’ health and improvements to the fan experience, including free and globally accessible broadcasting models as was the case at the FIFA Club World Cup.
“Accordingly, the club announces that it will continue to work for the good of global football and fans, while claiming substantial damages from UEFA.”
