The UEFA president: "They didn't respect the rules, it's right to exclude them but now, not in ten years." All statements
“ Juventus? It seems logical to me that a club that has not respected the rules should be excluded from European competitions... Exclude them if they returned to the Champions League? You can't punish a company in 10 years if it has done something wrong now. You cannot decide to exclude Juve in 2028 or when they qualify for the next Champions League. For any European club, a sanction like the one suffered by the Bianconeri is important and causes an economic loss of between 40 and 50 million euros. It's no small thing. Especially if you are a club in serious financial difficulty ." This was stated by Aleksander Ceferin , to L'Equipe, on the situation relating to Juventus, excluded from European competitions for a season due to the "capital gains case".
" With the new changes and measures made, it is now a system that works better than before. In addition to Juventus , we had also excluded Manchester City, but the CAS rejected our request. But the objective of Financial Fair Play is not that of punishing the clubs with exclusion, but that of helping them to have a healthy economic sustainability that favors competition " added the UEFA number one .
Ceferin's words on the Super League
Then Ceferin , on the subject of the Super League , a project still not abandoned especially by Real Madrid and Barcelona , explained: " Too much attention is paid to these so-called projects relating to the Super League. There is an appeal that must be judged by the Court of Justice of European Union. But it seems strange to me that these same clubs want to play in the UEFA competitions, the same ones they say they don't like. Frankly, the projects we're talking about don't deserve many comments. Nobody wants the Super League. Not even within the clubs they belong to. there is talk, apart from the main managers. Real and Barça suspended for this? It's too early to say ."
