Juve, Barca, Real Madrid admitted to Champions League next season
Juventus, Barcelona, and Real Madrid will be allowed to partake in the Champions League next season despite their unwillingness to distance themselves from the doomed Super League project.
“Admission letters have been sent to all clubs participating in next season’s UEFA club competitions today,” UEFA told Reuters on Tuesday, according to ESPN.
There were suggestions in recent months, primarily from UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, that the three teams still clinging to the infamous Super League could be banned from the Champions League.
UEFA suspended disciplinary proceedings against the trio earlier this month. Ceferin was adamant the proceedings will resume.
The nine other clubs that originally signed up for the Super League have since withdrawn from the breakaway competition, leaving just the aforementioned group of three.
Juve finished fourth in Serie A this past season, securing their top-four spot on the final day of the campaign. Real Madrid and Barcelona, meanwhile, finished second and third in La Liga, respectively, behind champions Atletico Madrid.
