Nine of the original 12 European Super League clubs, including the Premier League's 'Big Six', declared their commitment to UEFA and its competitions at continental and domestic level on Friday; Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus respond with coordinated statement on Saturday.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus have issued a joint statement vowing to 'persevere in the pursuit of adequate solutions' amid the fallout from the European Super League and what they see as 'threats' from UEFA.
Nine of the original 12 European Super League clubs - including the Premier League's 'Big Six' - declared their commitment to UEFA and its competitions at continental and domestic level on Friday.
However, the three who have not renounced the European Super League - Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus - are set to face 'appropriate action' under UEFA's disciplinary action.
The trio of clubs released a coordinated statement on Saturday, denouncing the 'intolerable' pressure put on them by UEFA to drop the project.
It read: 'In relation to the statement released by UEFA on the 7th May in respect of the Super League and the position taken by 9 of its founding clubs, Fútbol Club Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid Club de Fútbol state the following: 'I- The founding clubs have suffered, and continue to suffer, unacceptable third-party pressures, threats, and offenses to abandon the project and therefore desist from their right and duty to provide solutions to the football ecosystem via concrete proposals and constructive dialogue.
'This is intolerable under the rule of law and Tribunals have already ruled in favour of the Super League proposal, ordering FIFA and UEFA to, either directly or through their affiliated bodies, refrain from taking any action which may hinder this initiative in any way while court proceedings are pending.
