Reactions after the decision of the European Court of Justice and the very quick announcement of the restart of the Superliga were not long in coming...
And they are mostly expected - Real Madrid and Barcelona, the only clubs besides Juventus that have previously remained faithful to the idea of the Super League, welcomed the decision of the highest court of the European Union, while the first rejections began.
The first to react were Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla, who remained loyal to UEFA.

The European Court of Justice ruled earlier today that Uefa and Fifa acted against competition law when they blocked the formation of the Super League.
"Real Madrid welcomes with great pleasure the decision made by the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is responsible for guaranteeing our principles, values and freedoms. European club football is not and will never be a monopoly, and from today the clubs will be masters of their own destiny." it was announced from the royal club.
Real's biggest rival is also satisfied...
"As one of the entities promoting the Super League, Barcelona believes that the decision paves the way for a new high-level football competition in Europe that defies the monopoly in world football," Barcelona said, among other things.
The rejection of the Superliga came from the giants from Munich.
"It is very clear - Bayern's door to the Superliga remains closed," said Jan Christian Dresen, Bayern director.
As well as from the greats from "Old Trafford".
"Our position has not changed - we remain committed to UEFA competitions," Manchester United said.
The Spanish La Liga announced that the Super League project is a selfish and elitist model, while the Association of European Football Fans assessed that "there is no place in European football with a separatist Super League."
"Whatever happens after this ruling, the project launched in 2021 for an elite private competition to compete with the Champions League threatens the future of European football. We will continue to fight against it," said the Supporters' Association.
Monaco, Roma, Sporting Lisbon, and Red Star also officially said "No" to the Super League after speculation in recent days that they had received an invitation.
"Zvezda's position is clear, and it states that we do nothing that is not in accordance with the regulations of UEFA, with which we have excellent relations. UEFA is the only real sports model, a pyramidal organization that is practiced and promoted by it. We are not interested in the so-called Super League of Europe and we will stay with Uefa until the end," said Zvezdan Terzić, general manager of Zvezda.
