Real Madrid is preparing to pursue legal action against UEFA for an estimated €4.5 billion (£3.9bn; $5.2bn) in damages, according to _AS_ and _The Financial Times_. The club claims this figure reflects revenue lost after the collapse of the European Super League project.
Sources close to A22 — the firm responsible for the Super League and its successor concept, the Unify League — told _The Athletic_ that Madrid’s demand covers projected income from ticket sales, broadcasting rights, and sponsorships that would have come from participation in the breakaway competition.
Madrid has continued to argue that UEFA’s actions directly undermined a project intended to modernize and stabilize the financial structure of European football. The potential claim underscores the club’s determination to challenge UEFA’s monopoly on continental competitions and reignites tensions surrounding the failed Super League’s economic implications.
