  The European Court of Justice, on Thursday, ruled against UEFA and FIFA, stating that their opposition to the proposed European Super League breached EU law. The landmark decision is being considered as a huge boost to the Super League which was initially proposed by the top European clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and the Premier League giants.

  While the two La Liga clubs remained firm on their decision to compete in the breakaway tournament, the Premier League clubs withdrew after facing massive backlash from their fans.

  WHAT NEXT FOR SUPER LEAGUE?

  Almost all major European clubs have decided against participating in the new competition and it remains to be seen if the new league ever sees the day of light.
