The European Super League has staged a remarkable comeback after a groundbreaking ruling from the European Court of Justice. Remember the uproar when 12 founding clubs unveiled this initiative in 2021? It sparked an instant backlash from fans, fellow clubs, and players alike.

FIFA and UEFA flexed their muscles, threatening bans from all major competitions, yet the story took a twist. All founding clubs (except Real Madrid and Barcelona) backpedaled, triggering a legal tussle that reached the European Court of Justice.

The Court's ruling labeled FIFA and UEFA's restrictive rules as 'unlawful,' emphasizing the freedom of clubs to partake in alternative competitions without facing sanctions. But, let's be clear—it wasn't an endorsement of the Super League itself.

UEFA highlights this as a chink in their authorization armor, not a green light for the 'super league.' Real Madrid's President hailed it as a milestone in sports history, but UEFA's Ceferin threw some shade, suggesting the Super League's aspirations might not match the reality.

Now, the Super League is back with a potential format featuring 64 teams across three divisions and even plans for a women's league streamed free through Unify.
